The Gambler Dies At 81.
The man always did know when to hold 'em, and evidently knew when to fold 'em. EDIT: I suppose I can be forgiven for omitting this, but in my defense, it was like 2 in the morning.

At least get the spirit of the song right, fellas:
And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even.
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep.
RIP, man. Really, REALLY enjoyed the work you brought to the world.

BTW, notice the difference between The Gambler (above), and pretty much any modern video in the last 15 years or so. No dancing at all, no hot ladies, no boy toy dancers, and actual music. I'll grant you he really DID look exactly like most people would picture an old west gambler, rocking that incredible beard, but all HE relied on was his music. A one of a kind, and the world is poorer for the loss.

I just dropped in to this thread to see what condition he was in.
