I didn't know about Dickens but a lot of people mentioned Snow and wondered why someone like Leon Russell was getting a revival and not her.C.

Damn and doubledamn.<br /><br />And visiting Jerry House's blog reminds me we've already lost Phoebe Snow and Hazel Dickens this week, so there's a diverse trio of singers to form, with Poly, in the choir of our memory.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944798.post-60817966462937422022011-04-27T20:25:36.657-04:002011-04-27T20:25:36.657-04:00Argh -- just saw that on Twitter.

It would be another terrible loss.<br /><br />Did I remember to send along the link to the interview with her in <a href="http://jprstudies.org/2011/03/interview-joanna-russ/" rel="nofollow">JPRS</a>? Very interesting.<br /><br />And <a href="http://www.samiraahmed.co.uk/?p=544" rel="nofollow">Samira Ahmed wrote a nice piece on her blog</a> about presenting the news on Poly's death.C.

Now...Shit. Poly Styrene really never does degrade.<br /><br />Now we're hearing that Joanna Russ, cut down from a series of strokes, might be drawing very close to the end. We don't need no damned trio, or even a duo if it can be helped.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944798.post-27101898419066223132011-04-26T09:55:52.279-04:002011-04-26T09:55:52.279-04:00Next year the international conference will be in ...Next year the international conference will be in London, which unfortunately coincides with the Olympics, but I'll probably go anyway. It's a fun conference and there's a huge crime fiction area (at least at the national).C.

Another eyeroll-worthy moment. Davy never realised "Hell" is just another name for Texas, I guess.C.
