Yes. Saw that in the latter stages of the work day yesterday.

Sad news to see/read/hear.

I knew him first and foremost from his solo works. LOVE the song "What About Now?".

Plus, a couple of years ago, I heard a new (new to me, anyway) Christmas tune done by him - titled "Christmas Must Be Tonight".

Needless to say, I downloaded that song from iTunes.

EDIT : Meant to mention that it was after I heard "What About Now?" that I found out that he was a part of The Band.

RIP Robbie Robertson.

From "Family Guy":

Ohhhhh...ffffffffffff......fudge.

Only I didn't say "fudge", I said "BEEEEEEEEEP!"
