[Yes I Will Call This Home] My Friend, Leroi: Yes, i had known about the accident and the reported complications, and so no, his death wasn’t a complete surprise. In fact, I had talked with my brother and little sister more than once in the previous weeks about that very possibility, and how that would affect the band, etc. But there is a difference between surprise and shock, and there is no doubt that even now, nearly a month later, i’m still gripped by a certain amount of shock. The man who i had been jamming to for so long, the man who had been such a role model to me musically, the man who stood on stage, a fixture in his trademark black glasses, emanating the very essence of cool for all those years: gone, suddenly, at the age of 46. No amount of prior speculation had prepared me for that loss, that hole in my world (and the worlds of so many others as well) that would never again be properly filled. Perhaps this seems like gross hyperbole to some, but i couldn’t help but think, on that day, of how people must have felt when Jimi died, or Janis, or Duane Allman, or Charlie Parker, or Stevie Ray Vaughn, or Keith Moon, or John Coltrane, or John Bonham, or even John Winston Ono Lennon. True, Leroi’s shadow was and is, in many ways, not nearly as large as that of those immeasurably historic figures i just mentioned. I mean, i came to love The Beatles relatively late in my life (not until college, really), and even then, even though i was only a year and three months old when John was shot, i still mourn him; i still occasionally weep for him. So, no, in terms of macrocosmic scope and influence and suddenness, and even in terms of the circumstances surrounding the death, Leroi and John are not in the same ballpark. But for me, in my heart, the loss is quite comparable. It was on that day, and it will continue to be for the rest of my days. That is how much Leroi’s music meant, and continues to mean, to me.
[Media Mewsings] Catgirl Critics’ Media Mewsings for October, 2008!: Set in Washington, DC, the movie is about a CIA agent Osbourne Cox (purrtrayed by John Malkovich) who loses his job and is about to lose his MD wife (Tilda Swinton) who is having an affair with another government agent Harry (George Clooney), unbeknownst to his author wife (played by Elizabeth Marvel), nya. At her divorce lawyer’s behest, she copies her husband’s computer files for evidence of his assets, but she also copies secret CIA information. The disk is lost by the lawyer’s secretary at a gym, to be found by trainer Chad (Brad Pitt) who shows this to his friend Linda (Frances McDormand).
