Singer, songwriter and guitarist Phoebe Snow died today of complications from a brain hemorrhage suffered in 2010. She was 60 years old.
Her 1975 hit song Poetry Man is indelibly etched in my brain as well as those of countless others who grew up in the 70’s. May she rest in peace.

The song was written about singer/songwriter Jackson Browne…she had a secret crush on him at the time.
