"As a young man, he had a kind of Michael Corleone Before the Fall look, sloe-eyed, dark, a little hunched"

He looked exactly like Al Pacino:

May his memory be a blessing .

Big fan, but not of that song. "I think it's a good song, but too many people sing it."

Try some of these.

My new favorite version\

May his memory be for a blessing

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

My favorite televised musical performance by any artists, anywhere:

His songs are wonderful; they always were. Words and music to live and think by, and to remember him.

One of my favorite covers.

He said goodbye with his recent album and interviews. His mantra was personal freedom at all costs. A very rare human, and his songs and words will last forever.
