    <span style=&quot;font-size: medium;">It&rsquo;s not even June. But already this calendar year we&rsquo;ve lost a gut-wrenching list of people who&rsquo;ve impacted the music world: impresarios Don Cornelius and Dick Clark, R&amp;B legends Johnny Otis and Etta James, the incomparable Band singer and drummer Levon Helm, bluegrass banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs, amp builder Jim Marshall, Memphis Horns saxophonist Andrew Love, pop icons Whitney Houston and Davy Jones, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, Stax bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, disco queen Donna Summer, classical art-song master Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, on and on. And, earlier this week, Robin Gibb, who&rsquo;d been battling cancer for some time.</span>

  2. Psychedelic Spring: A new Grateful Dead documentary gives Deadheads a reason to tune in and turn on

    <span style=&quot;font-size: medium;">Every spring, I listen to the Grateful Dead with fresh ears, not to the exclusion of everything else, but close to it. (I'm not alone in this. How many people in the Northeast associate the Dead's music with thaw, both literal and spiritual?) </span>

  9. Classical music online: Salonen, Sellars and Mozart

    I do not unconditionally celebrate the Internet, particularly its intrusion into classical music. As replacements for the record store, Amazon and iTunes have become necessary evils.

  10. All he asks is: 'Try to like it'
