All these deaths have me really bamboozled. Mitch Hedberg and Bass Wolf were just about the same age and both died at about the same time. Both passings are reported as being from "natural causes", but most people assume they were drug related.

38 is too young. I have always been drug/alcohol free so it's a little hard for me to understand how one gets to the point of overdose, but that's not the point. These guys were talented in their own ways and morbid as it may sound, it sucks that so many vile people committing atrocities big and small are still around while interesting, happy folks creating art to entertain/inspire other people are dropping dead.

I'm even more sad/pissed off now that my stupid friend's stupid Mom wouldn't let us sleep on her stupid floor a month ago. We were supposed to go to Jersey to see Guitar Wolf, but she pulled the rug out from under us at the last minute. What the Hell? After all my family has done for this friend, his freakin' mother couldn't let us crash on her floor? I had only just come to terms with it, figuring I could just catch them next time since they tour frequently.

Yeah, that's what I said when I skipped Joe Strummer in Hartford a few years ago.

Feh... April Fools Day sucks.

Thank you
