Whoa, slowly but surelythe 20th Century comes to an end. It was a good one, good and full.

RIP, and goosebumps more than once.

A giant....and a great loss...as is obvious to anyone familiar with his music.

Bigger than Bowie.  A real loss but we knew it was coming.  No one gets to live forever and he lived a long and storied life.  He practically invented a genre of music.  How many people get to say that?
