            Wow! Not quite sure what adjectives I'd use to describe this one:

            When musician Bruce Hampton collapsed on stage Monday night, his band thought it was a theatrical end to a celebratory night and kept on playing for several minutes.

            The guitarist/singer/bandleader was performing at Atlanta’s Fox Theater for his 70th birthday surrounded by over 30 of his acolytes, including members of the Allman Brothers Band, Phish, REM, Blues Traveler and Widespread Panic. They were all there because they consider Mr. Hampton a primary musical inspiration.

            The sold-out show concluded with the musicians on stage smiling broadly as Mr. Hampton led them through Bobby Bland’s “Turn On Your Lovelight.” He pointed to 14-year-old Brandon Niederauer to solo on guitar and then went to one knee, collapsed and died. It was several minutes before the band stopped and EMTs rushed on stage to try and revive Mr. Hampton.

            ....

            Mr. Hampton’s influence and revered place in the jam band universe stemmed from the Aquarium Rescue Unit, which performed from 1988-1993. The band was akin to the Velvet Underground, a group which never sold many records but had tremendous influence on others, notably Phish, Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic, and the Dave Matthews Band, inspiring them to take chances, “play music, not instruments” and never focus on showing off.

            ....

            “There was an incredible feeling in the building that it was a family reunion as much as concert,” says Widespread Panic’s John Bell. “Everyone rose to the occasion, including Bruce, who was playing and singing as well as I’ve ever seen him. He was in command until the last second and it was glorious to see. I believe he went from fully present in this world to fully present in another world, with very little in the middle.”
            "Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

            "Beer is a sign that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -- Benjamin Franklin

            "Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy." -- W. B. Yeats

            "People generally are most impatient with those flaws in others about which they are most ashamed of in themselves." - folk wisdom

                  Apparently Chris Berman's wife was killed in a car accident.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                      This is terrible for me. Holcomb had the same eye disorder that I do, keratoconus. It can be debilitating for someone who has it. I don't have it as bad as he did, but Holcomb used his Olympic celebrity and earnings to shed light on the disease, and research has grown leaps and bound because of him. Hopefully, it wasn't due to his battle with alcohol and depression and it was just natural causes. RIP Mr. Holcomb.

                        Everything I've read seems to indicate it was natural causes, but the long-term impact of severe substance abuse on the heart is well-documented. So it could be a combo of bad genes and his prior struggles. Very sad, regardless.

                          Former umpire and current Major League umpire supervisor Steve Palermo reportedly has passed away. Good guy and when he was still on the field was a great umpire. He was shot and seriously wounded during a robbery attempt in 1991 when he came to the aid of the victims.

                            ****. Met him in Toronto. I'm not ashamed to admit I copied some of his style in my umpiring career. :http://www.kansascity.com/sports/mlb...150497922.html

                              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
