Another One Bites the Dust

Joe at Woodstock, August 1969
British singer Joe Cocker died last night. I guess to some people that is not sad news, in fact maybe not newsworthy at all and certainly no big deal. But to others, including me, it is, unless Death is better than Life, and in certain lights and on certain days it seems like it might be. At least when you're dead you don't have to worry about when and how you're going to die, if you see my point. Anyway, at the very least it is surely a pretty creative place, even more so today.
