Anthony:

EELS leader E met with 15 year old Anthony Fusaro backstage before the April 14th San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts EELS concert. During their meeting, Anthony, a bright and funny EELS fan who was stricken with both spine and brain cancer, presented E with a stuffed moose dog toy for E's dog, Bobby, Jr., before watching the EELS show.

A little more than a month later the EELS were greatly saddened upon hearing the news that Anthony passed away, May 20th. E and Bobby, Jr., filmed a special performance of Anthony's favorite song, "Railroad Man" for the memorial service yesterday, which you can watch here:
