Temple of the Dog is still in my car's CD player. Man this one hurts.

I never wanted
To write these words down for you
With the pages of phrases
Of things well never do
So I blow out the candle, and
I put you to bed
Since you cant say to me
Now how the dogs broke your bone
Theres just one thing left to be said
Say hello to heaven

Glen Campbell, singer/guitarist most famous for his 1975 hit song "Rhinestone Cowboy" has died at age 81.

Didn't realize this (from CNN):
He was part of the famed "Wrecking Crew" of L.A. session musicians that included Hal Blaine, Leon Russell, Larry Knechtel and Carol Kaye. The crack band played on records by Phil Spector, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, the Monkees, the Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra.
That's Campbell's fretwork on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" and "Help Me Rhonda," Sinatra's "Something in the Night" and Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas," among hundreds of recordings.

Two comedy icons -- and who lent their considerable talents to other fields -- Jerry Lewis & Dick Gregory, both passed away the last couple of days. RIP.
