thehefnerI googled this and pulled it up from site, not bothering to hotlink:
"Francisco Gutierrez, better known to us as "Captain Jack," has passed away this morning at the age of 43.
In 2002 Captain Jack was diagnosed with a stroke. Though his lifestyle heightened the chances of another stroke, he continued to live life doing what he loved. He collapsed on Monday at a party in Spain, fell into a coma, and was pronounced dead today. He is survived by his ex-wife and son Francisco (21).
There's no point in masking the fact that we're connected to Captain Jack through his music on DDR. All of us have heard it; all of us have loved it. He's become about as much of a part of DDR as DDR itself, and thus the entire music game community is affected by this tragic death.
In memory of his life and his wonderful contributions to both music and music games, we are putting Captain Jack's self-titled theme song in the game for a short time. We know we don't have the rights to it. We don't care. Play, and do homage to this great man. God knows he deserves it.
Tak tak tak, never looking back
Come and fight for Captain Jack
Say it slow, but say it loud
Join the peace camp and you will be proud."
