I know I'm really getting old when folks who were such favorites of mine when I was young are dying of diseases associated with older folks. Of course, the Stones will live forever but still...RIP!

Same Auld Lang Syne... rest in peace, Mr. Fogelberg, your songs are fond memories and reminders of my youth.

That probably contributed to the poor man's death.

Run For The Roses Lyrics by Dan Fogelberg

Born in the valley
And raised in the trees
Of western kentucky
On wobbly knees
With mama beside you
To help you along
Youll soon be a growing up strong.

All the long, lazy mornings
In pastures of green
The sun on your withers
The wind in your mane
Could never prepare you
For what lies ahead
The run for the roses so red --

And its run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moments at hand
Its the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And its high time you joined
In the dance
Its high time you joined
In the dance --

From sire to sire
Its born in the blood
The fire of a mare
And the strength of a stud
Its breeding and its training
And its something unknown
That drives you and carries
You home.

And its run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moments at hand
Its the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And its high time you joined
In the dance
Its high time you joined
In the dance --

There is a radio station in Philly that plays that song Every First Saturday of May !
Another member of the heaven rock band !

One of the greatest artists of all time.
