Bad news!

Really bad news! First, Miep Gies, one of my all time heroes, passed away. She was the beautiful woman who protected Jews and saved Anne Frank's diary during WWII.

Today, I come home from work to discover that Jay Reatard (a mere 29 years old!) has died. This amazing punk-rocker-Goner (if you will) made me cry with his high energy redemption of his songs prior to the Pixies show I attended not too long ago.

R.I.P., loves of mine.


He was supposed to play this show...oh, what a creepy poster.
Beautiful, beautiful.

  1. I heard about Miep Gies on the news yesterday. How sad and yet what a good life too. If only more people would follow her example.
