I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I hope they play Levon at the funeral.  Great song, and IIRC it really was written for him.  RIP Levon. :(

Kids. I feel so sorry for them. Cultureless and clueless.

 :(  Seemed like a truly great guy and an amazing musician.  A bunch of my friends went to some of the rambles he held at his house.  Alas, I never managed to make it to one.

The vocalist and drummer with The Band.  I'd not registered the name, either, though I vaguely remember The Band.  They went out in the '70s or so.

Not a household name.  Still, RIP vocalist/drummer dude.

I know The Band because Cripple Creek was in constant rotation on WYSP Classic Rock (Philadelphia) when I was a kid.

The class act of the Band.  They were, rep wise, a bunch of cunts.  Except for Levon.
