Spare Change

Sung to the tune of Part of the Plan

Posted by Bryan

I just learned from Angela at Fluid Pudding that Dan Fogelberg has died.

He was 56 years old. He died from advanced prostate cancer.

I'm playing an all-Fogelberg playlist on I-Tunes right now. I've got ten songs from his greatest hits.

I guess my folks were into him, because some of his music would certainly be included in the soundtrack of my life. Probably not like in a montage scene where I'm trying on a bunch of different clothes or that scene where I'm talking to my reflection in the mirror, practicing introducing myself to Kelli back in 9th grade. But almost certainly, a snippet of "Power of Gold" might be playing in the background of the house sound system during one of my parent's many times with their friends where as a child I could be found running wildly through the house, playing a tennis racket air-guitar, or shoving peas up my nose in a misdirected effort to impress my friends.
