Video homage to a favorite artist & a favorite song of that artist who & which is:
Jim Croce - "I Got A Name"

edit: I wish I could tell him how much this song has meant to me all my life. I hope I just did. I mean, that's the point of homage to dead people. To communicate appreciation of something they, those ghosts on the other side, left behind. I think it's perfectly okay to communicate w/ the dead (aka, necromancy). I mean you're doing do it whenever you read Shakespeare, so.

Lyrics:
Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I got a name, I got a name
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I got a name, I got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by

Like the north wind whistling down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by

And I'm gonna go there free

Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
Well, I know I can share it if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you

Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
