    R.I.P. Levon Helm

    Drummer of The Band succumbs to throat cancer at 71.

    The last performance of the original members of The Band was at the Last Waltz:
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

    I've always loved his voice.
    His recent albums are surprisingly good, given the throat.

        The Last Waltz was pretty awesome, I remember staying up one night to watch the whole thing on VH1 Classics. Became a huge fan after watching it.

          Never get tired of hearing The Weight. He finally found a place to lay his head. RIP

                    Oh, sorry, wrong guy - he's still alive apparently. RIP Barrabas:

                        One of the very few times I ever saw a man almost die from syphoning a toilet bowl was at a club in Mississauga, Ontario in 1971 after an afternoon spent with Jack Daniels and KFC, too much sun and 'the Band' and ' Music From Big Pink (1968)' :

                          which reminds me, Levon Helm's southern soul carried a band of dopey canadians for 10 years.

                              Them boys could all play and 4 of 'em were good singers, there Harlan.
