You know my take on The Band. No other group ever came close. Sad to see Levon go. He did leave a daughter though, and she has some chops.

Last man standing will probably be Robbie. Garth will be sitting. ;)

>Charles, I am addressing this to you because I know you were at The Band's farewell concert, "the last waltz," in person. I have seen the movie at the theater or on DVD probably 10 times but was not there. The news just brought the sad news that Levon Helm has died.

>One of my two favorite parts of the movie, along with Eric Clapton's incendiary guitar solo, is Levon being interviewed about the musical influence of Memphis. It's in the middle of the country, he says. Elvis. Carl Perkins. You've got bluegrass, country, blues, show music. "Is there a name for this kind of music?" the off camera interviewer (Martin Scorsese I think) asks. "Yeah," he says with a smile. "Rock and roll."
