Mr. Cage died on August 12, 1992 of a stroke at 79 years old.
I didn’t know him the last 14 years of his life.
He was the most influential musician in my life that I ever knew, personally, and I have known some truly great musical artists.
Of the many things I got, I think the thing that really struck me most, musically, from our relationship, was that I had no idea what was actually possible, musically, until I met him...and saw it with my own eyes.
When you die, the only thing that lasts is what you have given to others...and Cage left me changed, in a very, very good way.
Thanks Mr. Cage...really, thanks.
