Devastating news. He was a great songwriter. A couple of my bands did a couple of his songs, and they were crowd-pleasers.
His straight-shooting outlook did much to endear him to me as well. When MCA wanted to price The Waiting at $8.98 (a dollar higher than the norm back then) he threatened to retitle the album The $7.98 Album. They backed down.
You'll be missed, Tom. Thanks for everything.
