For all the world an end-of-Romans 7 man. I acknowledge Pink Floyd (up to Final Cut) and Joni Mitchell (I wonder did she ever find love?) in arriving at where I arrived at.

It was strange... I was thinking of Syd and the gang and their days at the UFO (not that I was around then!) last night as I watched Sigur Ros live.
And I return home to find that Syd has gone. But he shines on in many other guises and bands...

Would an RIP forum be appropriate?

IMHO, one of the greatest presidents of the 20th century. He led the country through a very difficult time and made some very hard choices that he had to know would likely end his political career. He acted based on what he thought was best for the country and not necessarily best for him. A true statesman. Those who would sacrifice an essential liberty for a temporary security will lose both, and deserve neither. -- Benjamin Franklin

I absolutely agree about how Ford should be remembered. He was the last honorable Republican president or candidate for president.

Jazz pianist Andrew Hill died 4/20/07.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Hill Cellist/Conductor Mstislav Rostropovich died 4/27/07. And, as a nod to Chevy Chase, to the best of my knowledge, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
