Bob Dylan on the passing of Levon Helm

From BobDylan.com

He was my bosom buddy friend to the end, one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation. This is just so sad to talk about. I still can remember the first day I met him and the last day I saw him. We go back pretty far and had been through some trials together. I'm going to miss him, as I'm sure a whole lot of others will too.

Levon Helm, Drummer and Singer of the Band, Dead at 71
