    Gerry Rafferty Dead at Age 63

    http://music.aol.com/blog/2011/01/04...+Music+Blog%29

    I remember him from when I was in high school. Most people wouldn't admit to listening to him but he did get A LOT of airplay.

    Yep, listened to him, quite well played here in the EU

    Well, yes and no. You do get a choice whether or not to abuse alcohol and kill your liver the way Rafferty did.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Baker Street is a masterpiece. I still remember where I was when I first heard it in 1978.
