Read about his 2008 appeal for separating religion and state after a documentary rabbit hole on post 2003 Iraq. Rare kind of conviction.

For Alan Thornett · 14d ago

My dad called to tell me, said he'd read Facing the Apocalypse twice. I hadn't heard of the guy before that, the car plant stuff, the Cowley years. Strange to learn about someone's whole life in one phone call.

For Yeray Sanchez Morales · 20 Sept 2026

17. that's it. that's the whole thing.

For Alla Nani · 15 Sept 2026

Didn't know much about Indian politics but my roommate's family is from AP. They're really sad today.

For Paddy Payne · 8 Sept 2026

Our Paddy Boy for $1,300. That's the story right there.

For Johan Mijail · 6 Sept 2026

Her performance at the Hemispheric Institute in 2016 stayed with me. The way she moved language around the body.

For Keyvan Khosrovani · 5 Sept 2026

Saw a documentary about his work with the Shahbanu's clothes. The detail, the respect for craft. That stayed with me.

For Ada Yonath · 1 Sept 2026

Thank you, Ada. For the joy, the honesty, and for showing up when it mattered.

For Glen Hansard · 31 Aug 2026

Once changed how I thought about what a film could be. Simple story, true feeling. He lived that way.

For Johnny Cash · 30 Aug 2026

I cried when I heard the news, and I'm not ashamed of it. Johnny was part of the soundtrack of my life.

For Abiemnom massacre · 26 Aug 2026

Sending love from France. The whole world grieved with you.

For Jaye P. Morgan · 24 Aug 2026

Gratitude

There are people you assume will always be there. Losing Jaye feels like losing a piece of the furniture of the world.

For Hayden Panettiere · 16 Aug 2026

Thank you

To the family: you shared Hayden with all of us for so long. Thank you. We're holding you in our thoughts.

For Victor Willis · 10 Jul 2026

I learned every word of their songs before I understood what any of them meant. Thank you, Victor.

For Gabriel García Márquez · 30 Jun 2026

Still with us

A life fully lived. Thank you, Gabriel.

For Leonard Cohen · 2 Mar 2026

What they gave us

My dad introduced me to Leonard's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.

For Martin Luther King Jr. · 26 Sept 2025

My grandmother loved Martin. When she died we played their work at the funeral. Now they're both gone. Strange how connected it all is.

For Kurt Cobain · 1 Aug 2025

Gratitude

My dad introduced me to Kurt's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.

For Aretha Franklin · 30 Apr 2025

Saw Aretha live once. Best night of my life, and I've had a few.

For Terry Pratchett · 17 Mar 2025

Never forgotten

I never met Terry, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.
