That’s sad, I did not know he passed. That makes two musicians I know who had Prostate Cancer, the other was Frank Zappa.

I first heard Dan’s Nether Lands in 1977 in high school, and was blown away by its beauty. I have been so sad to hear that he is gone, and have been rediscovering his music all over again (to the point of spending a ridiculous amount on eBay for his Christmas album). The rawness of “Missing You”, the sweetness of “Heart Hotels”, the rhythms of “Part of the Plan”. . . How awful that he is gone so young, and I hope his music lives on forever.

I was sad to hear of Dan’s passing. Believe it or not, my mother’s best friend had an on-again, off-again relationship with him. He apparently wrote “Same Ol Lang Syne” for her.

how can someone get inside so many people’s lives unless his heart and soul can communicate with everyman? such a talent will be sorely missed. much sympathy for his family…hopefully they can take comfort in the idea that this one man touched so many.

I had forgotten how good this music was. THere was so much good music to listen to during the 70’s. It waas similar to the information overload of the internet today. Just wanted to say to you, whomever published Dan’s letter, you’re the bomb. This is the most important message that one can give. saving your fellow man! (Unfortunately, Dan, was victimized) More celebrities need to do this! OMG ! Follow that advice. My father had the prostate irradiated, they frickin nuked him, it destroyed the cancer, but diabetes got him in the end. There is a genius MD that treated my Dad, who was big into selenium therapy, to ward off prostatic CA. Eat your Brazil nuts, boys.

Dan – I will be talking to my doc about it for sure. I’m 37 – so if he recommends it, definitely.

Admittedly this is a great song, but everyone can hear this one about 20 times a day during the holidays on every light FM station.

Fogelberg had a string of great albums with a lot of really great songs on them. If you are not familiar with Fogelberg, try to hear something from Souvenirs, Home Free, Phoenix or Captured Angel. Many moments of greatness. Innocent Age of course. And Twin Sons, but those first 4 are terrific.
