\"Photobucket\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A man of much talent was taken<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

From the world on that day…<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Remember his days as a “Solo Musician”<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

His political protests and messages to the world<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And remember him as the man who found happiness in <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Giving up his musical world to raise his son.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
