The “sell-by” dates on ‘60s rockers tend to be fairly low; I’m surprised he made it this long.

Thanks for posting. He brought a lot of pleasure to a lot of people. Not many of us can say the same.

And take a last flying look at the last lonely eagle
He’s soaring the length of the land
Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle
For you know that he never will land
