“He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife Jean at his side”
I don’t want to belittle this man’s death, but if I get cancer, I’m going to fight a cowardly battle with it. People who fight bravely against cancer always seem to lose.
Instaed of a long string of bullshit, I will just say that Dan was a friend (many years ago). He did his demo at Paul Leka’s studio (at the time, the head producer for Columbia, and the man, along with Billy Rose who did Green Tamborine and Na-Na-Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye).
This is even more depressing thgan losing your job right befoere christmas. Dan was a truly gifted person, and I wish he had released a song on his demo called “If You Are Leaving”. I never heard it other than on the demo, but it was as good or better than anything I have ever heard him do.
This sucks. And also Kenny Loggins will be 60 in like three weeks. He was in that We Are The World song.

Another slam in the guts.

Godspeed, Dan Fogelberg.
OK, I just found out now. On Monday. I guess I should keep checking the main page.
I had prostate cancer surgery last May. So far I’m clear of it but I guess I shouldn’t have been so blase about the whole experience.
