"I'm gentle."
Dan Fogelberg, singer of one of my favorite soft-rock weepies, "Same Old Lang Syne," has died at 56 from cancer. Great. ANOTHER reason to cry at his music. More info here.
And for those of you unfamiliar with Fogelberg's brand of so-sad-you-want-to-curl-up-in-a-ball-and-sob music, here's a strange little YouTube tribute to his album artwork (not to mention his many, many beards) set to the tune of his aforementioned holiday classic. [YouTube]

Man...that's just sad. I loved Dan Fogelberg when I was a kid. I think I still have a vinyl copy of "The Innocent Age" somewhere. Yeah, I'm a geek.
On a side note: just went over to iTunes to download a few Fogelberg songs and noticed that the free holiday song of the week is:
"Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland" by Michael Bolton.
It just ain't right.
