I didn't know Boz Burrell died, great bass player :(
Sad news...I loved his vocals in King Crimson's Islands.
Its' always sad to read about these events even sadder when they put together like this ..
So much talent gone in a year and there were many many others as well ...
for all those who left this world this year

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
