2016 has been a b*tch of a year, and this is another kick in the teeth.

 

This was a good and talented man. Had more poetry in his little finger than Dylan.

 

And I'm gonna grieve him as much as I want, even though I know a lot of people on these forums sneer at 'celebrity grief'.

It's not celebrity grief if there it is the end of someone's art as well as their fame. I think, anyway.

I just listened to Democracy again. 

"Sail on, sail on

Oh mighty ship of State
To the shores of need
Past the reefs of greed
Through the Squalls of hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
It's coming to America first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
It's here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it's here they got the spiritual thirst
It's here the family's broken
And it's here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
Democracy is coming to the USA"
