"So what in the world's come over you And what in heaven's name have you done You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness You're out there running just to be on the run" The weight and depth of John's lyrics is just astounding. Great job by Dave Matthews.

Ones age becomes an exercise in laying bare the voices that have awakened you and guided you through memories in the making. These voices hold you while you lay in the darkest hour of the day struggling to say goodbye to one of their own. The chorus is never the same when the sun rises after moments like this. Only memories remain...

John's music was descriptive of my generation, i.e. "Sam Stone", "Illegal Smile", et.al. Lucky to have seen him a few times. To hear his work by Dave played in tribute very heartwarming. DMB is my favorite current live band. Leonard Cohen is gone too, & Tom Petty. Tough time for my singer/songwriter heroes.
