Pour One Out For The Pope: January's Finally Over

It's said (I read it once or twice, too.) that the moribund often hold on through the holidays (Even w/ the Xmas music.) & give up on existence come January. That seems to have happened this yr.

Close to home, not the actual Pope, but quite the local scenester. Didn't know him well, but he often came to events at the dump I rented in the '80s & early '90s & other party venues, always pleasant & amusing.

Also: Jeff Beck.

David Crosby.

Bobby Hull.

Lisa Loring.

Barrett Strong.

Cindy Williams.

Tom Verlaine.

And last because most recent, not because least, Mrs. Spat.
