Tucson, Arizona (Gazette) - Dan Fogelberg

I am writing from France.

Dan Fogelberg is almost unknown here.

You can only afford one or two, perhaps three of his latest albums.

Nobody knows he died recently.

The last time I heard this superb song, it was in 1977 or 1978, quite a long time ago, but I've always had the tune in mind.

I am moved.

Adieu Dan.

thanks for the positive on Dan's music. the hostilehotelwalls was being a jerk. It was purely a disagree to agree. I love the fact that he did it his way, not the way the music industry wanted. I love all the voices of Dan.Men in particular, their voices do change with maturity. I love the fact that his music also matured with him and it never sounded the same or sounded as a copy of someone else, as we have in today's music. That to me, is what made him unique and special. Gotta love him!

Yes! And while the earliest works are tied up with my youthful reminiscences (giving them a certain emotional resonance that only magnifies with time), the musical stuff he pulls off on his more mature releases (vocals included) kicks ass.

I agree Dan was the best. I disagree that the voice change was negative. Sure, I missed the falsetto, but the tonsil situation gave all kinds of new colors to his voice. We got to hear him as angelic voiced boy and as a real manly man too. I consider that a gift, and his post Innocent Age releases too. Sopranos and tenors shouldn't have all the acclaim, y'know.

Thanks for your time.

Dan Fogelberg has written many terrific tunes, but this one certainly tops it,and the images in this video, especially the lightening are terrific peice that goes with the song! The song is heart wrenching yet it represents a reality that almost no one is willing to own up to in his or her family with such dysfunction. While I dont take drugs, I did grow up in a house that was never really a home,and I can relate to the feeling of completely estrangement and isolation.

Everyone disagrees with me. He had tonsillitis but after the surgery, he couldn't sing falsetto. It changed the way he wrote and sang. He is still my favorite artist but everything after 1980 was a B album or less. Let's be honest. On a lot of those Albums he had one to two good songs. That is a far cry from all of the songs being great. Windows/Walls was the exception. He was underrated as a musician and the best song writer ever. Remember "Fan" is short for "Fanatic". Be honest about Dan.

I am going to disagree with Windows and Walls being the last of the good work he did. I feel many had a problem with also the voice change, when he had his tonsils removed,which lowered the pitch. Window and Walls was the first album out since he had them removed. I find it interesting to hear many changes in his voice thorough out the album.High Country Snows,Exiles&The Wild Places were well produced albums.I agree his early works are just awesome. How can you not mention The Innocent Age?

So true!.......He had a gift of being able to touch peoples' hearts and reach across time and space.

Too young to die...

欣赏日本人的尚武心神.但当今世界已经进入等量毁灭时代了,协商比武力更可行,特别在中日之间. 随便没有礼貌的说一点.日本人,你们不要变成米国的棋子.否则只有两败的局面.
:)

ここで日本を口汚く罵る連中にも腹が立つが、それ以上に、現場の自衛官の苦労をよそに、私利私欲を貪る防衛省の背広組官僚連中が頭にくる。あなたたちはそれでも日本人か？わざとらしいシビリアンコントロールが腐敗を生む。

軍事力は必要なものだが、なんのために、どのように使うか、ということが一番大事だ。軍事力だけが突出してても、政治が充実してなかったために潰れた国はいくらもある。
アメリカは世界的な軍事超大国だし、中国もそのようになる可能性はあるが、両国とも、上記のような問題を抱えている。特に中国は内政・外交とも不安要素がかなり大きい。

自衛隊が無かったら、今の日本は無かったと私は思います

いくら何でもアメリカと変わらないなんてありえない
残念だけど、あのアメリカに真正面から戦って勝てる国など地球上にはないと思う・・・悔しいけどね

「三度許すまじ原爆を～～・・」など空しく歌って防げるのか？防げるなら、何回でも歌ってやる！アホくさ～。
もう原爆じゃなくて水爆や中性子爆弾の時代つ～の。
死ぬまで歌ってろ！・・三度落とされたくなければ、抑止核しかね～つ～の。小学生でも分かる論理なのに。。大の大人が歌、唄って・・どんだけ～～？？って感じ。

悪くない。世界はジャパン・フォースといって軍隊扱いしてますよ。でも、彼らは首を傾げます・・「どうして、そんなに制約が多いの？そかも、それを日本国民が科してるのって・・アホ？じゃない」てね。
自衛隊？？？
日本軍でしょ。

だから何？そんなの誇ってどうすんの？軍事じゃなくて、環境保護に金使ってね。
二酸化炭素排出量世界第一位なんだからｗ。
世界中の人に嫌われる前に何とかしないと、やばいと思うよ。ちょっとすでに遅いかもしれないけどｗ。

現在、中国の軍事力は世界２位だよ～～～アメリカとあまり変わらんさ～～

現状、自衛隊＝石破のおもちゃ箱　になってるね。

彼にアメリカにいたころ会ったことあるんですよ！いろんな不思議な物もっててかなり信憑性の高い話をきかしてくれました。

wikiで調べました。タイムマシンを持っているとかどうとかｗ。
こんなことも言ってますね、彼は。
「中国の内陸部にて暴動が起こり、軍が治安出動する。このため、北京オリンピックは中止になる」

ジョンタイターを知らないんですか？知らなかったら絶対にwikipwdiaでしらべてください

２０１２年に中国は日本に再度併合されるらしいですよ。

その前に中国が今の状態を維持できるかどうかさえ
疑わしいのですが。

かっこいい。
