Here (Sacramento) his death was the lead story on the news (before the Reagen marathon) and at each commercial break they showed him performing.

He survived the segregated South as a destitute blind (from glaucoma) orphan. That was pretty amazing.
And his performance in "Blues Brothers" is unparalleled. That boy rocked and had a soul a mile wide. I feel really sad.

I don't hold you completely responsible, don't worry.
We played Georgia On My Mind in his honour last night.

Two days ago, I got this picture of Ray Charles e-mailed to me. I was going to use it as part of my signature, with the caption: "Join the Cult of Ray, and your eyes will be opened." The picture was of Ray Charles holding a microphone singing, and he was singing into the corded end of a microphone. I e-mailed the picture to a few more friends, and then he died the next day. I felt kind of bad.

Stupid Regan is taking over every thing. I am MUCH sadder about Ray Charles than some politician asshole who is now being fucking sainted in the media. BLAH.

Depressing. I was just thinking about him last week cause there's a commercial for the Powerball Lottery thing (I think it might just be a Pennsylvania thing) in which he's singing and playing piano with a horribly cheesy, very 80's-like backing band (with a violin player...and there's not even violin in the song), and it got me thinking "my god, what the hell happened to his career." It's a shame it came to doing shit commercials like that...ah well.

I just heard this. I would say - of any decade. Ray Charles was ace, and way cooler than Stevie Wonder. Respect.
