Jeez, I just got word that the guy who got the local branch of the Quiz company I'm with going (and who'd since left for other ventures, but remained our mentor and guru) passed from a massive heart attack last night.

Andy Dog, Matt Johnson's brother and the artist for all of The The's art/album covers over the years has passed away. He actually sent me a nice message once after I'd written about the art for the "Sweet Bird of Truth" sleeve. R.I.P. to him.

Didn't realized Johnson had two brothers. (Also didn't realize that apparently Matt Johnson has a cameo in Star Wars.)

SHE was, until six days ago, the young woman who did not exist. Excised from school photographs, barred from class theatrical productions and left off the list of scholastic achievements displayed on her college noticeboard, Flora Keays has been forced, by law, to remain invisible. Until now.

I get the impression Sara Keys agreed to the injunction initially for "not being bothered by press, allowed to live their life in privacy" reasons, until she discovered what it actually meant, at which point it was too late..

On Sunday, Mr. Feeney died in a New Jersey hospital of complications from a staph infection in his kidneys, his mother, Reba Willis, said.
Mr. Feeney, who was 32, went into cardiac arrest at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, N.J., the town where he grew up, just west of New York City, according to an obituary in The News. His sudden death was mourned by many in the journalism world, from reporters who worked with him on the city’s crime beat to those who fought alongside him to improve diversity in American newsrooms.
