Fred is Deadnew
It's officially a new year, and it's usually at this time that I comb through the tribute and farewell sections of magazines' year-end issues to see which greats left us and exclaim, "Oh shit, he’s dead!"

Defend Its Existencenew
Somehow James Taylor's cultivated this persona of innocuous docility. The thing is, Sweet Baby James has imbibed his fair share of opiates and dabbled in enough star-fuckage to make Pete Doherty jealous.

M.I.-Yay!new
