I’d read and posted earlier about Thompson’s passing and how he’d suffered a heart attack ca. a month ago. I linked to it in this post. Then later I’d read about Albini’s death from a heart attack too.
The Bible quote is merely for…effect. Death cutting down two artists with the same scythe, so to speak. Rock 'n Roll likes a little bombast.
In any case, hope you enjoyed the Cheap Trick link.
Didj’all know that that’s inherent behaviour in all felines? No, not to put their puss up close to the camera lens…to sit in boxes or, more correctly, delineated spaces? Don’t believe me?

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced charges on Wednesday against former Adams Township Clerk Stephanie Scott and her attorney, Stefanie Lambert Junttila, alleging the pair permitted an unauthorized computer examiner to access voter data concerning the 2020 election, which included non-public information....
The new charges could result in up to 20 years of jail time for Scott and 15 years for Lambert.
Scott, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday, previously claimed she’d “done nothing wrong” before Adams Township voters recalled and removed her from office in May 2023.
In October 2021, Scott was stripped of her ability to conduct elections by the Department of State after refusing to turn over her voting machines, assigning her duties to the Hillsdale County Clerk. […] At the time, Scott told Bridge Michigan that she did not trust the machine and wanted to preserve any old data on it, echoing unfounded claims that tabulators may have been rigged against former President Donald Trump in 2020.
