I know I wrote something about his death a few days ago, but it keeps coming back to me – that he was so single-minded about singing that he didn’t seem to notice the time passing.  That he was a broken old man and still wanted to be a rock singer.  When I too was going that route, he was making a comeback with The High Hats, and everyone thought it was a joke.  But he did it, he did it straight and he did it well.   Maybe that’s why he stays in my mind.
