Lots of deaths yesterday in NYC (222). Almost triple the toll from Friday. 678 total to date.

The funny thing is that GH and GL, at least in the ‘90s, were rarely good at the same time IMO, so it was easy to switch between them. When Curlee was waning, Labine was rising. When GL had its mild renaissance with Rauch/B&E in ‘97, GH was having its weird year with Iacobuzio/Whitesell. That is until the late ‘90s when they both became utter sh!t.

As much of caricature as she has become over the past 20-25 years, I can’t deny that the first 10-15 years of her career is one of the greatest runs by any recording artist, and I’m still constantly revisiting it for joy and inspiration. Madonna always felt like she would dodge the self-destruction that affected her peers, but the years of grueling performing have taken their toll on her body, in spite of her well-known obsession with fitness. I hope she takes an opportunity to heal.

There have been rumors similar to those that plagued Prince.
