Sad News About Levon Helm
Undermind:
--- Quote ---He was my bosom buddy friend to the end, one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation. This is just so sad to talk about. I still can remember the first day I met him and the last day I saw him. We go back pretty far and had been through some trials together. I'm going to miss him, as I'm sure a whole lot of others will too.

I was gonna say, from the night before, here in Norfolk, opening for DBT's, Megafaun... a much better copy than I posted earlier in the Megafaun thread.
As I texted rj right after...was worth the price of admission right there.

Statement by President Clinton on the passing of Levon Helm
April 19, 2012 | New York, NY | Bill Clinton | Statements
“I was saddened to learn of the death of my fellow Arkansan Levon Helm. Levon was one of America’s great musicians. His music, with the Hawks, the Band, and throughout his career, and his standout performance in Coal Miner’s Daughter, touched a cord with me and with many Americans. He never forgot his roots. I was always grateful that he helped the annual Delta Blues Festival get off the ground. He will be deeply missed.”
