Chuck Klosterman's (anti intellectual?, anti elitst?) rant about how differently the death of a Ramone and the death of a Ratt were handled. But as long as you have the right friends, your funeral will always matter a whole lot more. Link: The Ratt Trap (NYT free reg. req.)

Joe Strummer Dies
I'm thinking hard and except for Bob Marley I can't think of another dead musician who felt more mine. Sure, we all new Kurt was important but he fucked it up. Joe and Bob kinda died of natural causes and that makes it more fucked up. There's alot of folks waking up tday and saying, "Man, I feel old".
