I just finished doing a search on YA and there are a whole lot of posts about Dan Fogelberg's passing, and I actually read through most of them and the majority, like me, have been very touched by him over the years. I actually posted a message on YA last night around 11:00 after I read about it while I was online. I can't even imagine a world without him and any new music that I'm sure he would have written. Fortunately we will always have the music he did create while he was with us. My younger years are filled with memories of his incredible music. I don't really remember exactly how or where I "discovered" him - I like to think he discovered me. He so touched me. Even though I didn't know him personally, I feel like he knew me because the way he wrote was just the way I thought and felt. His kind of talent is almost non-existent anymore. As far as I'm concerned, he is one of the most gifted and talented artists of my generation. Such a beautiful human being. The world is less now. My heart is hurting.

That is so sad. This was the first I'd heard about it. I loved his music, too. He will be greatly missed. I spent many a long night up with my colicky baby (1982) listening to Dan's music. It soothed us both.
All you men, please get your prostate screenings regularly. Women, encourage the men in your lives to get the screenings. My father also died of prostate cancer 4 years ago. His was diagnosed too late. I have a friend who caught it early and is now in remission.

I just found out on this forum that he died. I always liked his music. I saw him years ago in Cleveland. It was a nice, small concert. I remember him from my college days. I was sorry to hear of his passing.
