Steve Gilliard, 1964-2007
It is with tremendous sadness that we must convey the news that Steve Gilliard, editor and publisher of The News Blog, passed away June 2, 2007. He was 42.
To those who have come to trust The News Blog and its insightful, brash and unapologetic editorial tone, we have Steve to thank from the bottom of our hearts. Steve helped lead many discussions that mattered to all of us, and he tackled subjects and interest categories where others feared to tread.
Please keep Steve's friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Steve meant so much to us.
We will miss him terribly.
You Tube Mania
Gabba gabba hey, we accept you, we accept
you
OK, you've noticed we've been posting up a lot of You Tube clips on Fridays.
A lot of other sites (Eschaton) digs up crap and torments people. I want to dig up gold and share it. Live performances forgotten about or rarely seen after MTV.
I dug up 70's performers tonight in honor of the Police reunion at the Grammies.
My point is that this is an untapped resource, and should be used as such, not just for jokes.
Now, the majority so far have been rock clips, but we'll expand into classic country and jazz and blues.
Why?
Because we're sitting on a gold mine
