Angela Davis' lawyer died this week.
He'd already helped Nat "King" Cole live in a white neighborhood.
Richie Havens also died. Finally. I'd break his guitar, too.
It's the only way to be sure.
And - speaking of "finally" - this week claimed "The Crown Prince Of Country Music," George Jones.
He was so special, I can still remember exactly where I was, and what I was doing, the first time I heard him. Just standing there, stunned, at the depth of all he drew.
He was real.
He was real.
Yes, Sir - culturally speaking - I'd say Death had a pretty good week,...
Six degrees of separation bragging here, but members of the extended family had the opportunity to hang with George -- said he as a pretty cool guy, funny, smart, easy to hang with.
