Has Dylan said anything? Bowie wrote a song for him, after all...

This is great.
"Heroes" is one of maybe five, maybe ten contenders for "the best song ever written".

"Heroes" is so good it's scary.

As for the absolute privacy of his passing, I agree that it would once have been (relatively) unexceptional; as it is, it's some kind of feat of organisation.

I was just saying to Liam that all of sudden it is hard to argue that "Heroes" isn't one of the best songs of all time. One of the very rare songs that has both absolute critical consensus and popular love. Reckon there'd be about 10-15 songs in history with a similar rep.

That has got to go down as one of the great swan songs ever. The sentiment is just perfect.

It's cool that he was drawing on the local jazz scene, much like Kendrick did on TPAB. That quartet will play a series of (pre-scheduled) shows at the Village Vanguard this weekend, which should be pretty good.
