Gil Scott-Heron in 2010
Ugh! Poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron has died. I saw him live in Central Park not even a year ago! At the time, he was making a nice come back after spending years in jail for drugs. He revealed that he had contracted HIV from his drug use, but it is uncertain what the actual cause of death was. RIP, Gil!

Tim Hetherington and Geoffrey Dicker
I am literally sick to my stomach right now. War photographer and co-director of the must see movie “Restrepo,” Tim Hetherington was killed today in an attack in Libya. Many months ago, I attended a screening of “Restrepo” and though it was not an easy movie to watch, it was the most accurate depiction of war you’ll probably ever see. In fact, I think the film should be taught in schools just to show impressionable youth how stupid war is. I met Tim Hetherington after the movie was over and he was such a nice guy. Please take a lesson from this tragic loss – WAR IS STUPID. LIVES ARE LOST FOR NOTHING. KEEP THE PEACE.
RIP, Tim. You will always be an inspiration to me.

Yes by Yoko Ono
You can see this at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Is Yoko Ono’s message of love and peace as meaningful today as it has been for the last 40 years? YES!
