Talented man for sure. Where would he be now if he was not killed?  |

hate that fucking guy they played time in a bottle at my mothers wedding to the guy she was fucking around on my dad with not his fault of course, but still hate his fucking voice to this day You don't like Rush either, so your musical appreciation was already suspect.

There was a little VW Bug... burning on the side of the road. I was just a little kid at the time. It messed traffic all up. Everyone on the CB was cussing about the "crispy critter" Nobody found out until later who it was. <edit> DAMNIT! I went Googling to find the exact date, and: He dided in a plane crash! 
Now I've got to call the familly and figure out who the guy in the VW bug was!

Croce was a great songwriter, like so many others of that time. Operator is one of my favorite sad songs. You can just feel the hurt the poor guy is going through. Operator Oh, could you help me place this call? You see the number on the matchbook Is old and faded She's livin' in L.A. With my best old ex-friend Ray A guy she said she knew well And sometimes hated Isn't that the way they say it goes? But let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels Operator Oh. could you help me place this call? 'Cause I can't read the number That you just gave me There's something in my eyes You know it happens every time I think about the love That I thought would save me Isn't that the way they say it goes? But let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels No, no, no, no That's not the way it feels Operator Oh, let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk to Thank you for your time Oh, you've been so much more than kind You can keep the dime Isn't that the way they say it goes? But let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine and to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels |

Where would he be today?
If I had to bet he would be supporting Obama and the socialist take over of our country. You see great talent like Croce's have a special insight as to what's fair and just. After all their gig is money for nothing so it's only right others get in on the action |

Now I've got to call the familly and figure out who the guy in the VW bug was! Harry Chapin died in a crash involving his VW Rabbit and a tractor trailer. "Just one year after founding Long Island Cares, Inc., Chapin was traveling in the right lane of Long Island Expressway on his way to a free concert he scheduled at Eisenhower Park when, after passing exit 40 in Jericho, he put on his emergency flashers, presumably because of mechanical issues with his Volkswagen Rabbit. Chapin slowed to about 15 miles per hour and swerved in the center lane directly in the path of a tractor-trailer truck. The truck rear-ended Chapin and his car burst into flames, and while the driver of the truck was able to remove Chapin from his vehicle, he could not be revived. Officially, Chapin died of cardiac arrest, but there was no way of telling whether it was before or after the accident." |

Muary Muehleisen (the other guy in the clip) was killed in the same accident - talented musician in his own right. ETA - Follow-on album should have been titled "Eat a Pecan". |

But tomorrow's a dream away Today has turned to dust Your silver tongue has turned to clay And your golden rule to rust If that's the way that you want it Oh that's the way I want it more Well there'll be one less set of footsteps On your floor in the mornin' Some of my favorite lyrics ever. |

Quoted: Seems like you should be angry at the DJ instead of Jim Croce. hate that fucking guy they played time in a bottle at my mothers wedding to the guy she was fucking around on my dad with not his fault of course, but still hate his fucking voice to this day  I kinda like his music, it reminds me of being a little kid in the 70's. |
