R.I.P. AM
For someone most of us knew as a fringe celeb, DJ AM actually had a compelling life story, the most recent chapter of which was thought to be his success in overcoming drug addiction...until yesterday. At 36, he was the survivor of a suicide attempt and a horrific plane crash, but ultimately he couldn't outrun the untimely death he seemed almost destined for. Tragic and sad ending for a native son of Philly.
Anybody who can spin Wonderwall into Paper Planes is alright by me...R.I.P. DJ AM.

R.I.P. TK
Pretty awesome passage from the New York Times obit:
He was a Rabelaisian figure in the Senate and in life, instantly recognizable by his shock of white hair, his florid, oversize face, his booming Boston brogue, his powerful but pained stride. He was a celebrity, sometimes a self-parody, a hearty friend, an implacable foe, a man of large faith and large flaws, a melancholy character who persevered, drank deeply and sang loudly. He was a Kennedy.

The Count
“Life is a storm my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout, as you did in Rome, ‘Do your worst…for I will do mine.’”

Lutherans to Allow Sexually Active Gays as Clergy
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 7:59 p.m. ET
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The nation's largest Lutheran denomination took openly gay clergy more fully into its fold Friday, as leaders of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to lift a ban that prohibited sexually active gay and lesbian people from serving as ministers.
Under the new policy, individual ELCA congregations will be allowed to hire homosexuals as clergy as long as they are in a committed relationships. Until now, gays and lesbians had to remain celibate to serve as clergy.
The change passed with the support of 68 percent of about 1,000 delegates at the ELCA's national assembly. It makes the group, with about 4.7 million members in the U.S., one of the largest U.S. Christian denominations yet to take a more gay-friendly stance.
