Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards declared legally dead. It's been 13 years. I wonder if it takes that long in the UK or if there was some resistence to the idea of having it done.
Whoa. Good myth.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

sumi, I think I read that the law is 7 years, but the family choose to declare him legally dead just now.
For some reason, those news makes me a little bit sad.

That makes sense. I know somebody whose sister-in-law also disappeared and they couldn't bring themselves to declare her dead. (And even though her mother moved away they kept the family home in the family - just in case.)

My sweet wife bought me the Sufjan Stevens Illinoise CD and... I don't know. Will continue listening, but right now, I'm not so sure it's for me. I keep going back to his Christmas songs.

Sarah sez, "BBC radio is doing a piece about the influence of Yiddish on American culture - they have a great clip describing the ways in which Yiddish songs made their way into jazz...
Yiddish - a language once spoken by more than 10 million Jews - had a profound effect on American culture in the first half of the 20th Century.
It originated in central and eastern Europe - and spread to the United States when thousand of immigrants arrived in New York.
Zalmen Mlotek is the Artistic Director of the city's last surviving professional Yiddish theatre - the Folksbiene.
With the help of his piano, he has been telling Radio 3's Dennis Marks how the language influenced jazz music - and the likes of George and Ira Gershwin.
