    Ritchie Havens dead at 72.

    Everyone knows the Freedom song he played at Woodstock.

    But I like the lyrics to Fates.

    The only place I can find Fates online is on the album sample playlist and all you get is a couple bars.

    His opening performance at Woodstock was electrifying (even though it was all acoustic). He was a riveting performer. He did a jaw-dropping version of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman."

    R.I.P., Mr. Havens. Thanks for your music.

    These days, 72 is sort of a young age to pass away.

    72 is young when you consider only a couple years earlier he did this performance of Jackson Brown's Lives in the Balance.

    To me, it's not so much about how many years one lives, but rather did he or she enjoy most of those years.
