    I woke up this morning to learn of this legend's passing. Kenny Rogers was an amazing artist, he surpassed limits and was an icon not just of country music, but all things Americana. He is one of those few who had "IT.". I saw him performed in 2016 and when he sang The Gambler I sobbed. I felt so lucky to have heard that performance live. Mr. Rogers, with your talent, your advice, your example, your patriotism, your songs, you gave this could try so much. Thank you for so many memories and lessons. May you rest in peace. I hope as you showed your last hand you remembered that beyond your family you were loved and respected by countless fans across the world.

When I'm alone in the morning, at my worst, hangover and sad, what I hear in my head is Eagle's songs. My dad was a musician so I don't doubt that factor, but no child should ever hear music promoting something horrible. I remember songs I learned in other languages as a kid, including Latin and an African tribal language. Dude. Seriously.
