John Stewart: 1939-2008

I heard Steve Palec announce on his WKLH show this morning that singer/songwriter John Stewart passed away yesterday at age 69.

Not to ignore the rest of his long and successful career: John wrote and recorded "Daydream Believer" - a song The Monkees covered in 1967.

John hit the mainstream big in 1979 with an album titled "Bombs Away Dream Babies".

The hit single from the album was "Gold" - with Stevie Nicks on background vocals.
My fav off the album had to be "Midnight Wind" (also featuring Stevie).
