Another musical genius gone. Responsible for some great songs especially “The Weight” and “”Arcadian Driftwood”. Canada has lost another great son today.

Jeez, hadn’t heard that until I saw this thread.

RIP

Great songwriter.

His first solo album is a favourite. Had it on repeat (or the cassette tape equivalent) when 'studying' for my GCSEs way back when.

What a damn shame. I love the band. Probably the most American band in history, despite them all being Canadian.
