Clearly fewer people have chosen to die under the new president, but the architect of the Iraq war and political mastermind for other presidents, Donald Rumsfeld, did.

Don Everly, half of singing duo who influenced generations of musicians, dies at 84 I remember that, as a 12-year-old, I was really taken the first time that I heard Bye Bye Love. I had not heard of the Everly brothers and the song blew me away. During my adolescence, their songs spoke to my teenage angst (as did a lot of the popular songs that were current at that time). Now, I can still appreciate a lot of that music. Although my main interest still lies in Classical, I retain a fondness for doo-wop and jazz. RIP, Everly brothers.

I also was a big Everly Brothers fan and, as well as their tight vocal harmonies, I loved the way they used rhythm guitars out front as a driving force - to my ear, sort of like drums with chords.

100% in agreement with every word/sentiment in your post ... to which I would add "Wake Up Little Suzy".

Charlie Watts, Bedrock Drummer for the Rolling StonesI'm amazed that this wasn't posted sooner. Legends never die, but sadly, they are mortal.

He was the voice of the sleazy rich guy in "The Boondocks"...so creepily well done that listening to him was really disconcerting.
The character even looked just like him, which I found odd.
