Dan Fogelberg

I learned that Dan Fogelberg died last week. Dan Fogelberg made some of the cheesiest songs known to Modern History. A million years from now they'll pull his records from a time capsule, start a song and then say (in whatever alien language) "Daaaamn, that's cheesy. No, don't turn it off yet."

I am not sure if Dan Fogelberg was into Dark Magic, but his songs had the strange ability to compel you to sing along.

Take the example below (lyrics included). To this day, if I am driving alone in a car, I belt it out loudly. If you are brave enough to make it through to minute point 2:09, note that I do the horn solo too..all of the horn solo. It's a long horn solo.

The interesting thing is that all of his songs make me want to punch myself in the face. Hard.

So long Dan...
