I didn't realize he died in a plane crash. He was special, no doubt.

"I don't need no cream and sugar baby, 'cause i got you!" Thanks for reminding me. I will sleep better tonight. Good stuff, never grow old. Before my time, but timeless. Only 26 years old at his death. wow.

Listened to an interview with his widow on NPR this morning. Fascinating stuff.

I'm crying over here. 40 years ago, my father-in-law, who was the police chief caught me and my (now wife) in the throws of passion. He said "marry her or spend 40 years in jail". Just think, today I could be a free man. :cry::cry::cry::cry:
