How sad. He's responsible for some very important songs in the soundtrack of my youth.

It's stories like this that make me thankful that our guys took such good care of themselves. Whether you like Sting or not, at least he has not become a statistic.

RIP Gerry Rafferty

From busker to Baker Street.

What a fabulous song to be remembered for!

I turn into a 12-year-old for about 4 minutes every time that tune comes on...

I did not realize he also was part of Steeler's Wheel - that song "Stuck in the Middle with You" always reminds me of Reservoir Dogs. Killer movie! I love Steve Buscemi and Harvey Keitel. Quentin Tarantino is da bomb.
