Sad to hear about the death of Joey Molland. Badfinger was such a great band w/such a tragic storyline. Their best - and there was a lot of it - was the epitome of power-pop:

George Lowe, 67, Dies; Five Clips Capture His Kvetchy Space Ghost Alter Ego He was the secret weapon behind the cult-classic Cartoon Network series that reimagined the 1960s intergalactic superhero as temperamental talk show host.

George Lowe did a drop for my morning radio show, Ted's Friends and Family, ("Newsman Ted, why don't you just teach them all a lesson?") that is still remembered - by me at least - some 30 years later. SpaceGhost was the best. Nice obit. Sorry about paywall:

New York Dolls. Either loved 'em or loathed 'em - not much in between. RIP in red patent leather, David Johansen. Those that loved - or were never quite sure what hit 'em - still think the Dolls were something else:

This photo on the National Mall captivated the country decades ago. The real story behind it remained a mystery β€” until now. In 1974, a group of friends met the unthinkable with a lavish celebration. The real story behind a photo that captured the moment remained a mystery until now.

Do you have to be a DC native to find this story unusually moving? I'm guessing not:
