I have nothing nice to say!

Rush Limbaugh, whose wife Kathryn confirmed on Wednesday that he died at 70 after a yearlong and very public battle against lung cancer, was a college dropout when he began his combustible radio career, repeatedly losing gigs as a deejay and news-talk host; he spent much of 1974 jobless and living in his parents’ basement in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Almost five decades later, Limbaugh kept a fleet of black luxury sedans in his garage, including a $450,000 Maybach 57S, traveled on his private Gulfstream 550 jet, and owned a fabulous oceanfront Palm Beach estate befitting America’s biggest and most politically influential AM radio star—and surely among the richest—who ever mastered the medium.

Not a fan of his but still rip

I'd agree with Ed. I might've agreed with some things he'd said, but he was too rude for me to care.

My former pastor bought some of Limbaugh's designed ties.

I don't think I ever expected to hear such a thing in my life.

Also, Limbaugh was a selfish turd and I'm not sorry he's gone. Dude intentionally made people's lives worse and was proud of it.

Heh. Guess they are as loud as he was...

(Though in truth, the one on the right isn't that bad.)

Okay, I'll be honest, those actually are a lot different than I thought they would be (and yes, the blue one on the right is actually good). Now I wish he'd just been a neck tie designer instead of an obnoxious loudmouth.

Naomi Shelton — the American gospel and soul vocalist who led Daptone Records outfit the Gospel Queens — has died. Shelton's label home confirmed reports of her February 17 passing today on Instagram, though a cause of death was not revealed. She was 78.

"Her spirit was the brightest and most positive in our family, and she was genuinely full of love," Daptone wrote of Shelton on Instagram. "She called us all for our birthdays every single year, asked about our kids and significant others, always had a story to tell, reminding us of all the shenanigans that went down over the years, and was, hands down, the coolest person in the room. We loved her dearly."

I liked his stuff. He didn't so much launch the Beat movement as help it expand to the West Coast. But he was crucial to it by publishing "Howl" (for which he was arrested and had a landmark obscenity case) and providing the venue for its historic first reading.

He pretty much outlived all the Beats (which he didn't like to be called apparently) and kept the light burning with his bookstore (which I always wanted to hit if I ever make it to Cali).

We missed the death of S. Clay Wilson a couple of weeks ago. His work was demented but howlingly funny, apparently set in motion by some bad experiences he had on LSD. It was quite extraordinary.
