Arthur Lee is dead

Reuters obit on CNN.com

Lee, with Love, created the unique and ineffable Forever Changes, still one of my very favorite albums of its time. The albums Love and Da Capo are also very good; later albums are at best spotty.

Not like I'm expecting the good folks at Rockstar: Supernova to have this level of taste and knowledge, but it would be cool to hear somebody do "7 & 7 Is," and I'm sure Mssrs. Lee, Clarke, and Newstead would dig the heck out of it.
