    RIP Ray Charles

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...u/obit_charles

    Godd@mn reaper better lay off of my heroes or I'm gonna get really p!ssed off. And I DON'T mean Reagan was my hero.

    I'm talking about Kenny Burrell, Elvin Jones, Robert Quine, Steve Lacy, and now this.

    I'm getting drunk tonight. Some occassions just call for it.

    What!?




    fuck
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    No shiznit, NP. The Genius of Soul did it all. There's a great record of his called "Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music" where he totally knocked down the walls between poor black folks music and poor white folks music.

    Here's to Brother Ray, who even made Pepsi Jingles sound good.

    Unhappy Correction!

    The jazz guitarist who died on May 6th was Barney Kessel, not Kenny Burrell.

    I apologize for the confusion.

    Rest in Peace.
    I saw the news and thought that death has been working overtime lately.

    Makes me nervous about my flight home this coming wednesday (knocks on wood)

    yea, Elvin passed away a couple of weeks ago, maybe a little longer than that.

    NPR did a great story on him.

    you know there's a lot of reasons that this period of time sucks to be alive in.

    1 - you can't be a pirate

    2 - A lot of the great firsts in a lot of things are dying off.

    Ray Charles crossed human bridges that few politicians are able to cross- and none lately.
