    You beat me to it.
    "...pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field;
    that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
    shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."

    -Edmund Burke

    Just saw a story about that on the 5:30 PM national news. One of my favorite concert DVD's is the Band's "The Last Waltz". RIP.

    I think I played "The Weight" in just about every band I've ever been in.

    RIP, Robbie.
