My Take
For me, Terry Jacks will always be tied to "Seasons in the Sun," his 1974 reworking of a Jacques Brel song that he carried to the whole world. Born in Winnipeg, he sang, produced, and clearly possessed a sharp ear for what makes a record land. What moves me most, though, is that his commitment did not stop at music; his environmental activism around Howe Sound's pulp mill emissions shows real conviction. People love to file him under one-hit-wonder, but I see someone driven by principle. There is an Aries directness to both his music and his life that I genuinely admire.
