I wonder if Henley knows about the song and is okay with it. . . to me is seems like an empty sentiment like when Elton John changed a few words to his candle in the wind song and dedicated it to princess Di. . .

I think it's not much more than people trying to use this tragedy for their own gain. If Henely did authorize this song then I think I may have lost a lot of the respect I have for him.

Keith Richards said it best when he was talking about the Elton John song " if she really meant that much to him you'd have thought he'd would have written a new song for her. "

Anyway, I'm not trying to rain on anyones parade, just saying my 2 cents
