The Leader of the Band has... DIED

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through My instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I WAS just a living legacy
To the leader of the band

Dan Fogelberg, the singer and songwriter whose hits "Leader of the Band" and "Same Old Lang Syne" helped define the soft-rock era, died Sunday at his home in Maine after battling prostate cancer. He was 56.

This is worth 44 points for Greg and gives him a late lead and a possible late comeback to overcome Izzy. If this death is the last of the year in the pool, it could be a complete sweep for Greg getting the first and last deaths along total points.
