Worth Noting

It has become an annual event for me to note the date that Dan Fogelberg died of prostate cancer, back in 2007.

I started learning his music while I was in college and I continue to play it today.

The fact is that more men die from prostate cancer than women do of breast cancer, but women often die younger and seem to have a better lobby.  Here is but one study.  There are many out there if you are interested.

So men, get regular check-ups because life is short and dead is for a very long time.

For me, picking a Fogelberg song to highlight is like an 8-year old walking into a candy store and being told he can pick out one thing.

So, to keep it simple, I will share the song that Dan said was his favorite.

“My all-time favorite track. The critics dismissed it because of its length but I am still fiercely proud of it. It was an immense undertaking and took months to complete. I consider this probably my best journalistic lyric writing. A movie for the ears, all it lacks is the popcorn.” (Dan Fogelberg)
