I don't know who he is, but I'm glad he's not letting it get him down. All best for him.

Yeah, such terrible news for such an amazing Canadian icon. Love this guy and the music he contributes to. It's so crappy that the band will end on this note.

Man Machine Poem is a fantastic record. I'm sure there's some contextual bias in play, but I really do think it's great.
