Levon Helm from The Band on the way out

Post by tripp221 »

From his Facebook page


Dear Friends,
Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey. ...

Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration... he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage...

We appreciate all the love and support and concern.
From his daughter Amy, and wife Sandy

His last few solo efforts were sublime.

Levon Helm passed peacefully this afternoon. He was surrounded by family, friends and band mates and will be remembered by all he touched as a brilliant musician and a beautiful soul.

No. Listened to a lot of his music but never had the opportunity.

Life is but a walking shadow. A poor player who struts and frets his hour about the stage and then is heard no more.
Obama's narcissism and arrogance is only superseded by his naivete and stupidity.
