I'm just back from drinks with a couple people from my writer's group. Had an excellent conversation with Erik Davis (who did the 33 1/3 book on Led Zeppelin) and Lynn Peril (famous for the zine Mystery Date).

A bus told me this morning that the lead singer of Quiet Riot was found dead in his bed, of (so far) unknown causes.
Happened a couple of days ago. Great band name.

Recommended video for your Sunday "Hit It" by Ethan Lipton.
