A lot of music from this era was what I like to call poetic storytelling. When done successfully it would touch your soul and transcend time. Thanks for a lovely bit of writing!

Thanks for this lovely tribute. My dad played his music in the car and I remember hating it. Looking back, it makes me feel nostalgic. Reading your piece and hearing AJ's version brings a newfound appreciation for it.

Sometimes it takes a little time to realize Dad was right. Thanks for reading!

Beautiful! I was a big fan back in the day but had never seen any of his videos and did not know his whole story. Thank you.

You're welcome! Such a sad story. It sounds trite but all the while as I read his wife's memoir I just kept thinking "Man, this guy needed Jesus."

Nice. As in the proper use of nice. Well done and reasonable. Thanks.
