First Syd Barrett, now Arthur Lee?!

This is deeply sad. Forever Changes is one of my very favorite albums.

Dude. :( That's really unfortunate.

[dr.barfton]

arthur lee is free finally

[Figglyduff]

Thats a real shame, I'm glad I got to see him play before he died, I really love Forever Changes.

Are we going to get these threads every time somebody dies?


Guess so, and you don't have to read them.

[dr.barfton]

celebrate him!!

[el topo]

Thanks man...

[gardenfuck]

Love is one of those bands (and Forever Changes is one of those albums) that everybody tells me that I'm supposed to like (based on my musical taste) that I never could get into.

Of course, the above statement is not a comment on the man's passing, just his work.

jesus

[samanthafayIFD]

rip.

[timellison]

Four Sail is my favorite. It's one of those "I know sort of objectively that Forever Changes is the masterpiece, but for some reason..."

[jaimi]

Oh man. What a crappy year this has been for rock stars.

i'd give $50.00 to see him die, that brain wilson presents smile thing was an abomination.

[clouds-chan]

for 50.00 i'll take care of it.

this is a deep and personal tragedy that affects both myself and others in ways we will never understand, mostly because of our profound and intimate connection to this man.

[pierrecoghill]

the genre of dudes dying lately makes me believe that none other than donovan is next!

[F.for.Fake]

have you seen "brother sun, sister moon"? a 70s hippie biopic about st. francis WITH AN ALL-DONOVAN SOUNTRACK.

greatest movie of all time. or one of them, at least.

[el topo]

dood they always do a great cover of that song. at like every show. and on that one cd.


Oh, okay. I had never paid much attention to Calexico until I saw them on Saturday, but I really enjoyed their set overall.

a terrible cover of "alone again or" was playing while people boarded an airplane yesterday. THE REVOLUTION LIVES ON!
