1. That’s sad news and leaving a wife and two children behind makes it even sadder.

   I can’t listen to “Band On The Run” without thinking of my old schoolmate and brother-in-law who died in a diving accident off Solana Beach, Ca. in March of 1981. He left my sister and three young children behind. That was one of his favorite albums.

2. It’s a damn shame. Lots of people loved his music. It’s too bad he ultimately couldn’t take his own lyrics to heart.

   Morning comes and you’re so lonely
   And you feel like you’re the only one alive
   Since she left you blame yourself
   For all the things she never felt
   How could you be untrue to yourself
   When nobody is watching
   Your life isn’t over the clock is still tocking

   One day you will wake up and you’ll
   Be able to forget the sadness
   Get into the gladness
   Of love and it’s way and you will not fight it
   While everyone dozes, you’re coming up roses

   Drowning in a sea of sorrow
   She won’t be here for tomorrow’s lullaby
   ‘Round and ’round and ’round she goes
   And where she stops nobody knows
   But God above
   It’s starting to rain and you’re running
   For cover like she ran to the arms of another

   One day you will wake up and you’ll
   Be able to forget the sadness
   Get into the gladness
   Of love and it’s way and you will not fight it
   While everyone dozes, you’re coming up roses

   You will learn to try again
   When you get your second wind

   How long is the road paved with good intentions
   Forever waiting divine intervention
   Of love and it’s way and you will not fight it
   While everyone dozes, you’re coming up roses

   R.I.P.
