through 2016 i watched many 'famous' musicians pass away and although i
always feel bad when the world loses another creative soul, this is
probably the first such person whose death has really impacted me --
realizing that there will never be another album from this genius, and that
his unique voice will be gone, really a sad moment.
still, the impact that he made on sound, art, and music will resonate for
many many decades to come.
