Bob Graham was an honorable politician. As just one example, he opposed the Iraq war when it wasn’t politically expedient.
I’m not going to pretend I knew who she was.
Another more mainstream article said the cause of death was not disclosed. What stood out to me was her sister called her a “gossip activist.” The more I think of it the less I understand what that might mean.
Canadian musician Rocket Norton has died at 73. (27 points for me) Time to go listen to Prism, part of the soundtrack of my youth.
Very sad to hear of this. The cause of death is listed as “chronic obstructive pulmonary disease” which sounds like a particularly terrible disease for a guy of his talents. So sorry to lose him this way. Let’s all listen to “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” tonight, and “Ramblin’ Man”, and “Jessica” for a closer.

How many of us are tied for 28th place?
Indeed. Don’t forget Blue Sky (which Dickey wrote) - one of my favorite Allman tunes.
mmm
Great musician, but from all I’ve heard, a really horrible human being.
Eighty of us
Thanks for asking! After seeing @Baker 's reply I feel a bit better about my 28th place status.
We’ve been getting a lot of baseball players/managers lately:
Mandisa, 47, of American Idol fame, dies.
Wow, kind of a shock to me.
Yeah, no kidding… and none of them in my themed list…
Daniel Dennett, one of the 4 horsemen of atheism, 18 points.

Former MLB player Dave McCarty dead at 54. Far, far too young.
