Ahh, Dan... We'll miss you.

I never knew how he did it. Wrote the songs of my life. Our lives really. But he did.

I met him in a steakhouse in Eugene a lifetime ago. We spent a few hours looking for girls and drinkin'. Mostly drinkin' He was hidin' out from the world and I was looking for a reason to care about the world. I don't know if I found what I was looking for, but hanging with Dan for a few hours, and hearing about being on the road and such... wow. That was cool.

A few years later he was famous and I was still on the hunt. I never saw him again.

He is free now... RIP, Dan. You brought so much joy to so many people who loved your music, wit and laughter.
