Had a girl friend who just had to go to his concert. Yea I took her. My clothes never smelt the same again and I didn't smoke not one. I wasn't a big fan but I did like a few of his songs.

I have a feeling our generation of artists will soon be dropping like flies. Just think how many are in their 80's and above....Dylan, The (remaining) Rolling Stones, The (remaining) Beatles, Willie Nelson, and so on, and so on.

Frankly, it is amazing that some made it to their 80's with the lives they have led....especially The Stones. (Talk about Sly's I WANT TO TAKE YOU HIGHER)
