Hey, Errol Morris made the LA Times Syndicate crossword today. You wanna see fine documentaries? I urge you to view his work.

Johnny Ramone died today. It makes me kinda sad, as that makes three of them gone at rather young ages. I always liked these guys, got to see them live a couple of times. Once I thought Joey Ramone was gonna die right there on the stage at the Phantasy Theatre. Really hot inside the building, combined with beer drinking and I'm shocked he made it through. Of course, they could knock out about 25 songs in an hour, so he could have left at any time and he would have touched most of their catalog. Not big sellers though, probably because they were not radio friendly and they didn't exactly have the chicks swooning over their looks. But a terrific band, nonetheless, with a great sense of humor. Gabba Gabba Hey.
