I've always liked the song. I think a lot of the hate comes from it being performed by the remnants of the Jefferson Airplane rather than someone like Foreigner or Journey.
I never realized that Bernie Taupin wrote (most of) it.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

That is in no way the worst song of all time.
Amen. That song is awesome!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I love you guys. I'm curiously calm about it. He was ready, I am glad his family had the time to mourn him and bury him by his wishes next to his parents before letting the world know, I am thankful for the blessings he gave us all with his words, I am thankful I saw him perform.
He is gone to story now, but what stories they are.

In a week of massive awfulness, this really doesn't help (there's other more personal stuff I won't get into involving friends). But he did have a good run of it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I guess everybody knows that her band, the Dap-Kings, played behind Amy Windhouse on half of Back to Black, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is just one loss too many for me.
