We all get older and the artists we admire also get older, which means, inevitably, someone you deeply respect is going to die in your lifetime. And as we age it will happen again and again. The inevitably of it, the increasing frequency of it will never make it any easier. Pretty gutted about this.

This sucks. I've gained a greater appreciation for his "live" production tactics over the years with the artists he worked with and they have such a raw sound that still ages well.
