    MILL VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Dan Hicks, a musician whose work in the 1960s helped define San Francisco's psychedelic sound, has died. He was 74.

    The singer, songwriter and bandleader, who led the musically eclectic band Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, died Saturday after a two-year battle with throat and liver cancer, his wife, CT Hicks, said on his website and his Facebook page.

    "He was true blue, one of a kind, and did it all his own way always," she wrote. "To all who loved him, know that he will live forever in the words, songs, and art that he spent his life creating."

    Hicks began his musical career in San Francisco in the 1960s, where he played drums for rock band The Charlatans, which, along with Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, had significant influence on the city's music scene.

    He formed the Hot Licks in the early 1970s, which drew critical and commercial success by blending country, blues, jazz, swing and humorous lyrics. The group's hits include "I Scare Myself" and "Canned Music." The group's last album, "Last Train to Hicksville," helped land Hicks on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

    The Hot Licks broke up in 1973 at the height of its popularity.

    Hicks went on to record more than a dozen more albums.

    In addition to this wife, Hicks is survived by his stepdaughter Sara Wasserman.

    The psychedelic redneck died? Bummer.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    He will forever be huge to those who knew his music. He was a major contributor of early Americana, combining bebop jazz, and folk. A Bay Area legend.

    Obnoxious thread title however.

    It probably should have been written like this:

    NOoOoOoOOooOOOooOOOoooOOOoooOOOOooooOOOO0000O
