My deepest condolences,Cody. It's been a few years since I lost my mother, but it still stings. Take joy in your memories and the accomplishments that she had a hand in making.

RIP Eddie Money (i.e. Edward Joseph Mahoney), who passed from complications form cancer at age 70. His voice and songs were instantly recognizable and part of the soundtrack of my high school years.

His voice and songs were instantly recognizable and part of the soundtrack of my high school years. -M I just saw that as I got back from Court. I wasn't the biggest fan but the guy could belt out a pop/rock song. His work was ubiquitous on MTV during high school and college and with bar-band covers, again during college. You pretty much couldn't go to a bar in Boise from 86-90 and not hear someone covering one of Money's songs. |

So sorry to read of your loss, Cody, but what a beautiful legacy she leaves behind. I will be a lucky man if, when my time comes, I am survived by a child who celebrates me the way you celebrate your mother.

RIP Daniel Johnston, "outsider" artist and "lo-fi" singer-songwriter. His work seemed to emerge from a collective pop culture id. He wore his love of classic monster movies and comic books on his sleeve.  |

Cokie Roberts ... I heard her speak in Baltimore once and she is full of wisdom and insights and I find her informed and straight to the point. I wished that I heard her more.
