My favorite group, sad day. The whole lot of them is almost gone.

Robbie wrote the Rod Stewart hit Broken Arrow. When you get past the Rod factor, it’s really a wonderful song. RIP!

Our (hubby and I) favorite as well. Our youngest is named Levon. The amount of people who don't know them makes me sad.

what an odd, but great combo, an Ar-Kansas hillbilly and a bunch of Canucks, they made some damn good music though

I have a giant playlist of like 2k songs on spotify that I just randomize.
I often skip songs that don't strike me in a particular way on any given day.
I never skip anything from The Band.

He was underrated, punched above his weight class in commercial fame and celebrity.

Last time I watched the Last Waltz I was blown away by Rick Danko

"The Last Waltz" is a horribly flawed movie because by that time Robertson had become the overbearing/smothering/egotistical "Paul McCartney"-style control freak of the band. He was blow buddies with director Martin Scorsese, who made sure that Robertson was in almost every shot -- singing into a microphone that wasn't plugged in because his voice sucked. As a result, we get a movie that hardly shows keyboardist and angelic singer Richard Manuel and barely any Garth Hudson. Levon gets barely adequate screen time, and Danko is a constant only because he is standing next to Robertson and sings lead a lot himself. The end result is "The Robbie Robertson Show" instead of "The Band."

On the anniversary of Jerry's passing as well.
Two greats.
RIP Robbie

That’s awesome. I had Levon high on the list of names I wanted, but the wife nixed it.
