I was greatly saddened by the news of Dan Fogelbergs passing in December 2006. He was a great songwriter, musician, and singer. I had the opportunity to sit with him backstage in St. Louis at the Eagles/ Fogelberg / Fools Gold concert. Dan was a storyteller and that is something missing in most of today’s pop world. That is why I like Lucinda, she has escaped the pop, polished, glossed over, pre-fabricated stuff being put out as music. Well it might pass for music but it will never pass as an art form. Those people are rare on today’s scene. Lucinda is one and Dan was one. Thankfully he left a sizable body of work, but at the age of 56/57, possibly his best work was yet to come, like the Eagles. Farewell Dan!
sorry the man is no longer with us…i did not know that! i read some where That LW liked dan, i believe she said she even did some of his stuff. probably in her up and comin’ days….you said something that i think is very important….that their style of music is an ART FORM….ain’t that the truth! i sometimes wonder what kind of art people like jimi, jim, janis, momma cass, etc. would be doing these days, although their reason for not being here was a mistake, not sure how dan passed on…i thank GOD for LW and even pray that she’s safe and sound when on the road or whenever…there are some and have been some very ANGELIC MUSICIANS that have, and are STILL grazing this earth….we need to embrace that as a whole….you are very blessed to have met dan…….
This is what’s posted on Dan Fogelberg’s website. Check it out at Danfogelberg.com and there are some other memorial sites as well. Just seach Dan Fogelberg!
[i]Dan left us on December 16 at 6:00am . He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side. His strength, dignity, and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him.
[/i]i think he died last month, 2007. Larry King had Graham Nash and Joe Walsh on to talk about Fogelberg. they were very sad to see him pass, i surmised from the interview he got diagnosed late maybe because he was afraid or didn’t trust someone. i liked what songs of his i heard on the radio, especially Language of Love. brilliant.
