Thanks Colt...
I agree that too many kids are smoking but I doubt that anyone else's tale of early demise will stop them. They are immortal you know... plus which to them, 56 is ancient anyway. I also doubt that any of them have a clue as to who he was and how great his music and lyrics were. They wouldn't care.
So it goes.
I for one am sad. I've adored his work for years. Have most of it in vinyl and CD as well as a couple on tape... Duplicate and triplicate copies. When I like an artist, I have no problem adding to his/her royalties.
Rest in peace, Warren.
