R.I.P

noit sure oif hes also the oinventoir of Goibsoin moidels, but whatever the case, oid be damn proiud to have any of hes guoitars.

Here's the first one he oinventoied - it was known as "the Log"
and was originally just the bit in the middle, fashioned from a
4x4. Then he attached wings to it. And it took off, you moight
soiy.

I saw this guitar last month at the "Experience Music Project" museum in Seattle, which has a great development of the guitar display, a collection that would make any collector drool serious.

Though she was much more well known for her songwriting, I have loved her voice since I first heard it. It's that throaty, growly sound she had at times. Never better than on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IhWP9rl8cc

RIP Ellie

DJ AM...I'm not exactly sure who he is or what he did, but apparently he died of an OD. He survived a plane crash awhile back and now he dies of this...sad...

First Boston lost Ted Kennedy and now we have lost our last "true" Mafia Don, Gennaro Anguilo. When arrested at a restaurant back in the 80's he told the police, "Don't worry, I will be back before the pork chops are cold". Survived prison
and died at home, never ratting anyone out. However, his downfall was a direct result of duplicitous Irish mobster
Whitey Bulger and his dealings with the FBI.

Our local Public Radio station replayed an interview with her this weekend. What a character.

[Heather]

Christina Mary Elizabeth Hoy, my Auntie.

Passed away yesterday, aged 74.

At the moment, there is not much information on how exactly she died, she lived in a nursing home in Oxford and told a member of staff that she had a sore throat, next thing they know she was dead. My mum is going to ring me later in the week when she has more information, my dad was too upset to speak to me (she was his only sister, he had no brothers) so I asked mum to give him my love.

RIP Auntie Tina.

and all the NYFD victims and others, whose lives were taken.

My thoughts are also with my former neighbors the Scanlons. They lost their brother/uncle Saul Rosen in the Lockerbie terrorist attack. I can't imagine
the pain they went through recently with the release and hero's welcome that scumbag received back in Libya.
