I have an 8 track tape of him I got while in high school. I wonder if Arlo knew him. RIP...

I just found out that Larry Norman who was in the 60's group People & was also a gospel singer has died of heart trouble. Peoples big hit was a remake of the Zombies "I Love You". I had an 8 track of him yrs ago and the 45 of the People version of "I Love You"...

Folksinger Utah Phillips had died. I just found out about it on an Autoharp list I belong to. Rip. I wonder if Arlo knew him. I watched some vids of him online the other day & it looked like he liked to tell stories kinda like Arlo...

That's really sad news...we were going to have a concert with him a couple of years ago at our local Folk Club, but it was scheduled around the time that he became ill. I had been keeping track through a website, and I knew he wasn't doing well. The world is a little poorer for the loss.

Was so sorry to hear about him. They announced it on Oldies 107.3 & played a few of his songs. Rip...

His "music" had no notes, but what he said resounded with truth and made us laugh and THINK. (And he would say I am full of shit.) George Carlin, dead at 71. Goodbye, Hippie Dippy Weatherman. Todd must be throwing you a BIG party right now--talk about kindred spirits!

That's sad...we were doing some furniture moving tonight, and we had to clear out our LP record collection in preparation for a painter coming tomorrow. The last record I handled was a George Carlin record, and I stood there (about 10 pm) reading what was on it, and thinking I should listen to it again. I had no idea he had just passed away.

I hate it when people randomly pop into my mind...people I haven't thought of in months or years...and find out later that day on the news that they've just died. This has happened too many times for me to count.

I remember the George Carlin / John Prine tour. It seemed the most strange coupling to me until I went. It was one of the best shows ever! A true iconoclast!

Did I just read right that George Carlin died? Oh my dog. I will always remember George by these un-joking words, "We the corporations have bought and paid for this Land, with you the people's money."
