That really, really sucks. Well, he lasted a lot longer, considering his lifestyle, than anyone would have guessed.

There was a good article on him in The New Yorker a couple years ago.  I remember when he was the musical guest on SNL in about '78 or so.  RIP.

Could have seen him a few years ago but didn't have the cash, lame.

I was vaguely aware of him until last  year when one of his songs New York is Killing Me appeared on that awesome 8 disc best of 2010 sampler that someone linked to here.  It's a great song.

Man, whoever linked that . . . . I mean, what a great person that guy was. A real humanitarian. Salt of the Earth. A gentleman and a scholar. I'll stop now.
