RIP Poly Styrene, Ira Cohen

Two people whose work I have peripheral acquaintance with passed on this week, Poly Styrene and Ira Cohen... Orlando Bosch died, too, long described by Noam Chomsky as a terrorist... Ford Pier also paid his respects to Phoebe Snow at the show last night, but I must admit, I have next to no knowledge of her work... Hazel Dickens, who appears in Harlan County USA and Matewan, died a few days ago, too... Is anyone else compelled to follow obits on a daily basis?
