Reflections on the intrepid traveler who has traveled on.

Howie Klein's passing was noted, in concert with others, at the recent Grammy Awards

"When I arrived, he was in his element — pretty much in charge of the joint."

"Howie Klein was a cultural sleuth who had a knack for recognizing important moments."

"He had a positivity, a determination, an intellect, and sense of humor that made him an army of one."

"I learned so much. Not just about the music business, but about worldly things, spirituality"

"He had written on a map of the United States in red Sharpie, 'all bands on tour at all times'."

"A titan of what it meant to be human"

"He was steadfast and brave about his last endeavour, facing quietly but squarely into the wind."

'Howie had the most interesting life of anyone I’ve met'
