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.

Video: Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah (NPA Live '95)"



The late Jeff Buckley performs a live cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Beautiful. Makes me weep.

I have history with Jeff's cover; evokes people I care of dying. As Buckley performs live, he speaks of France testing nuclear bombs. Seems the song evokes the same mood in the listener as in the artist. Where does the song take you?
