Started at Ebbets Field taking tickets for fifty cents and ended up building championship teams. Not bad for a kid from Brooklyn, even if the Dodgers did leave us high and dry.

For Janie Bradford · 13d ago

Money taught me that love songs don't pay the light bill, and Janie taught Motown that lesson first. Rest well.

Sang with an Italian accent in English and she didn't care one bit. That mattered to people like us.

For Philip Seymour Hoffman · 8 Aug 2025

Twenty-three years sober and then the relapse. It could have been any of us. It was him. And now his children will grow up knowing their father this way.

For Joan Didion · 7 Aug 2025

A Republican who made sense, which is to say she made none of the easy sense. Spent her life refusing the story everyone else was selling.
