It never fails. There are certain times in life where a song jumps into my head. For instance: After reading of Ricks sad news I have had "Leader of the Band" (Dan Fogelberg) in my head ever since. Anytime that I, or a friend lose a loved one, this song pops into my head. There are other songs, for other occasions, but this one has always stood out for me. Does anyone else have times like this?

Not long after my father died
Submitted by Guglielmo on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 4:27pm.I went to a music festival and heard this song by the John Cowan Band. So there are times when this one pops into my head. Oh man. I hope I'm cool enough that when I die I have the wherewithal to have similar last words as dad’s: "What's the hold up?" Here's to them old guys...

Submitted by JT on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 6:43pm.songs come to mind for all kinds of reasons, even sad ones like Rick is dealing with.
When I read the title of Rick's tribute to his dad and then the flavor of the narrative, I thought of Neil Young's song, one of my favorites, "Old Man".
Even some of lyrics match up.
"Forgiving or punishing the terrorists is left to God. But, fixing their appointment with God is our responsibility."
