Mitch Hedberg was 37. He was a very funny comedian and frequent guest on Howard Stern's morning radio show and "Late Show With David Letterman".
I want to thank The Mars Volta for making the radio a better place these days. "The Widow" is finally getting the heavy airplay it deserves and I'm grateful every time I catch it. What an awesome tune. While I'm thanking bands for improving my radio listening experience these days,
Terri Schiavo was 41. She was the brain-damaged Florida woman at the heart of a wrenching dispute over her fate that drew in the Congress and President Bush and ignited a media frenzy.
