"Our friend passed away last August. We had just spent a few months on tour and had been home all of a day when we got the news. I hadn't seen a lot of people from around here in a long time but news spread fast, and we had rows of tables set up at a diner for everyone to meet at in an hour. I watched people that had become enemies over the years forget it and hug. Mike was a good guy. We were all better people for having known him. I know he would have hated it if we wrote him a ballad as a memorial, so we didn't. We owed him this though for all he's done for us. Even in death he brought back together a lot of people that needed each other. Thanks, Mike. We miss you."
