Earlier today, my buddy Julie passed along the news that Dan Fogelberg died yesterday. I enjoyed his music a lot and while "Rock 'n' Roll" is probably not a really accurate description of it, expect a R'n'RTrivia quiz for him this coming weekend. Or possibly earlier.
UPDATE and ADDENDUM: If anyone has a particular lyric or song you'd like to see a question about in the quiz, shoot me an email to make sure it gets included. I'll trust you not to answer your own.

"For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth
And far too many stars have fell on me
And as they trail the skies
And burn their paths upon my eyes
I cry..."
The one that got me through a lot of tough situations was "Part of the Plan":
Love when you can
Cry when you have to
Be who you must
That’s a part of the plan
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we’ll all understand...
Maybe Dan understands his part of the plan now.
May God rest his beautiful soul.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'
