Another GREAT one is gone!
Guys, we are all getting older and this is one of the things we must watch for. All jokes aside, a regular check up and test can make all the difference if this cancer is caught in time. At least three close freinds come to mind who have been able to put this disease aside by staying in the loop on PSA numbers and with exams!
Yours truly has had a bout wih prostate problems, but it seems to be past for now!
It is never too late to take care of this. Make an appointment with your Doctor tomorrow! A PSA Test and "number" is a good place to start!

Wow... the last song I heard when I turned the alarm clock last night was "Same Old Auld Lang Syne".... We really did lose a great one today.

I was fortunate to see Dan Fogelberg when he played at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis in 1982.
His opening act was Karla Bonoff.
Both artists were at the absolute peaks of their careers. Karla had some mild success as a songwriter, penning "Someone To Lay Down Beside Me" for Linda Ronstadt and "Isn't It Always Love," which became a top ten country hit for Lynn Anderson.
But it was a song she didn't write -- "Personally" -- that got her tons of radio airplay in 1982.
Similarly, Dan Fogelberg had a loyal fan base for nearly a decade before he released the album "Phoenix."
In 1980, two major hits came from that album: "Longer" and "Heart Hotels."
By the time of his 1982 concert, his next album, "The Innocent Age," had given us "Leader Of The Band," "Run For The Roses," "Same Old Lang Syne" and "Hard To Say."
It was an amazing evening I'll always treasure. The moment from that night that stands out came right after he and his band had just finished an uptempo song.
The members of the band left the stage, leaving Dan by himself, perched on a stool with just his acoustic guitar.
He then said these exact words: "Here's a song I'm glad I wrote."
With that, he played "Leader Of The Band," a musical tribute to his father.
Ed Sabol, founder of NFL Films, once said:
"Tell me a fact and I’ll learn. Tell me a truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever."
Dan Fogelberg told stories. They will live in our hearts forever.

"There's a place in the world for a gambler" and we just lost a great one.
Go with God, Dan.

[EDIT]
While we're quoting our favorite Fogelberg lines, here's one of mine:
"Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you."
And his own epitaph from "The River":
"I will die by a river as it rolls away
Bury me in the nighttime...do not waste the day
High above the waters that roll on to the sea
All the angels in heaven will laugh at me
They will laugh at me....they will laugh at me
They will laugh at me."

And don't count on any Dan Fogelberg tributes on local radio today (although the NEWS/TALK station WBAP did do one)...who's left that plays his songs? Good thing radio wasn't in this shape back in 1980...we'd never have known who Dan was.
Maybe XM or Sirius will do something...or 97.1 on December 26? If "Hi-Fi" is back on Dec 30, you can bet we'll do one.

DF will be in rotation, once 80s music arrives on KEOM. In fact, "Longer" debuted in 79, so it can be played.

That's right, sorry about that. KVIL might even grace us with one during the wee morning hours, but not until Christmas is long over.

I believe that was Jody's "send-off" song to Ron...followed by Jody's intro to himself song, "Beginnings" by Chicago. (Or was it "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"?)

Oh yeah, forgot about that! Ya know, silly, stupid honest me, I had many opportunities to, um, "obtain" the mic Ron and company used for years over at the old 9400 North Central Expwy studios. It was sitting in a box, out in the elements, in a little fenced-off storage area in the Fitzhugh parking garage. Now THIS one had the real years on it...not just the last few at KLUV, but the KVIL years. The foam windscreens were nearly worn away. But no, I left it, and I'm sure some unwitting management-type's already relegated it to the Radio World classifieds, or worse yet, dumped it, along with the 2-door metal cabinet that had every Q102 special edition concert bumper sticker pasted inside it, and other boxes of retired KVIL collectibles.
Was weird, I was getting to work last night, and the clock radio in housekeeping in the back was playing 'Same Old Lang Syne'. If still left on by my shift, it's usually on a Spanish or R&B/rap station. I go over to check the lobby computer for viruses, and the Yahoo opening page had been left up by a guest who had used it earlier...and their big headline of the moment was the Fogelberg news. I hadn't heard about Dan in a while, so it was a shock to me. He didn't seem like the type to let any health issue get past him, but I guess you don't really know. Sympathies to his family/friends...

Wow, this post got over 600 views in its first 24 hours...that must be some kind of record! And a nice testament to Dan and those who loved and appreciated Dan's music. Kudos for a job well done, Mr. Fogelberg...R I P. :'(
