A Real Hero Has Died; Ray Charles, 73

I have not been able to gather my thoughts (or time) to shmooze about Reagan, but Ray Charles is another matter (Ray Charles, Bluesy Essence of Soul, Is Dead at 73). Charles was a real hero; a man who overcame his physical disability to become an essence of Americana. His musical skill; his persona of huggable soul; his cameo in the "Blues Brothers" are all hallmarks of a Great American Legend. We have lost so much.
