You shone like the sun
- Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

Bummer. In a way, it's like he left a long time ago. Like you said, a quiet end to a quiet life.
Cecilia and I were discussing whether 60 is a young age to die when you're a rock star. I think it's pretty ancient, considering how many problems he had. It's a miracle he wasn't part of the 27 Club.
