I remember Capt. Haynes and the Sioux City accident.
It was a remarkable feat of airmanship to have put the aircraft down under the circumstances without greater loss of life. By coincidence, in my book stack I have 'Flight 232' by Laurence Gonzales which is an account of the flight and subsequent investigation. I've just moved it to the top. RIP Captain.

Ric Ocasek.
When I was in college there were always classic rock people who didn't like the Cars. I understood it, because they were pretty keyboard-oriented, despite having the great Elliot Easton come up with amazing guitar solos for every bridge. |

He and The Cars provided a lot of the soundtrack to my teenage years.

This is a bummer. I didn't realize how much producing he was doing. My office mate met him once when he was trying to resuscitate Heart.
