Dan had no children, and the song "the leader of the band" was a song Dan wrote for *his* father who was a high school band teacher.

Thanks syder,

Wow, what a young age to die of prostrate cancer, which, to my understanding, is usually not that malignant.

We seem to think we will live forever, when, actually, all we have is the present.

 

rip brother.
he was a great songwriter.

 

"Longer" is an awful song, but always seemed to have this power over the girls I knew . . .

I did like some of his other stuff.

Rest in peace Dan.

 

Pretty much his best stuff didn't make it to radio:

Tell me to my face
The Reach
Ghosts
Etc.
