I had to go look him up. He's one of those guys that I've heard lots, but never actually heard of.

CBS Sunday Morning had a good segment for Levon. Much better than what they did for Dick Clark.

Agreed. There is a docu movie about his home and life in Woodstock.
Ain't in it for My Health is an outstanding look at an outstanding man.
