The Center for Artificial Indifference

Leader Of The Band … R.I.P.

Dan FolelbergDan Fogelberg died Sunday, December 16, 2007, at age 56, another victim of prostate cancer. Guys, if you are over 50 or over 40 and have a family history of prostate cancer, get a DRE (Digital Rectal Exam) and a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test EVERY YEAR.

Dan was as pure a musical talent as there has been in my lifetime. He and his acoustic guitar could entertain and mesmerize an audience for hours. His music was difficult to categorize, at times being called folk, pop, country, or soft rock. Those of you who knew or knew of Rob “Acidman” Smith, may remember that Fogelberg was one of his favorites.

He will be missed. R.I.P. Dan…

    Very sad. I didn’t hear about his death. I always loved Fogelberg…saw him in concert a couple of times back in the late 70’s.

    He will be missed.
