Yeah, that's it... Patti Smith, singing about Dylan's "snake", always staying classy.

I just got a notification from Masked&Anonymous that Mitch Gart died in 2012:

http://www.bedfordfuneralhome.com/home/index.cfm/obituaries/view/fh_id/10250/id/1373826

From ALS - a very tough way to go.

We both had a chance to meet him and go to a couple of Bob concerts when Patti Smith was on his tour.
