Blog Takes a Holiday

But death, no, that never does. Today I was interested to read about a contemporary's passing. Lucy Vodden was a contemporary in chronological terms, but that is where the similarity ends--I certainly haven't been memorialized in one of the most iconic songs in music history.

And if I were to be, what would that song be titled? Colin in the Car with Road Rage? I suspect a more wistful approach, along the lines of She's Leaving Home, might be more apropos.

Full details on Lucy's life and its bejeweled beginnings can be found at the obituary in The New York Times.
