Cranky, brilliant, irreplaceable.
Along with his great gift for melody (yes, melody!), he was one of rock's greatest ever lyricist. I hope he's remembered that way. Shit.

More importantly, as irascible as he was, he's a main influence on me as a writer and vocalist.
Most important, I'm a huge fan, now with a broken heart, for now.

He played a great "producer" role in that Paul Simon movie ("One Trick Pony").
