I don't think he'll ever stop. Not in the way poseurs like Michael Jackson don't, releasing albums post-mortuum -- his audience just happens to be heavenlier. I guess I'll restart my planned long-listen with the album that contains "Chelsea Hotel #2", one of the songs I got properly exposed to as something distinctly his outside of the aforementioned albums, then work my way from there (Songs from a Room perfection, you say?). Thanks for the shared grief -- yes, even he knows this has been a long time coming, but it has been a long, long week, and some of his songs (what range!) seem more timely than ever: mark of a great artist, surely. Maybe not greatest, but only because I so far don't have anyone to compare him with -- in fact, I'd rather not compare, it feels unnecessary (and I loved Stan Rogers first).
