      He will be buried in New York, except for his heart, which will likely be buried in Nob Hill or Pacific Heights.

        Would have a stronger post - if you hadn't edited it - three times - before getting nuance just right .

          Sinead O'Connor, 56, of unknown causes.

          She was a troubled soul with a beautiful haunting voice. I could listen to this track forever:

          "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

            Dang. David Spade tells a funny story on their Fly on the Wall podcast about how he picked up the ripped Pope photo off the ground after her SNL performance, and then later NBC people accosted him and got it from him.

              Just saw this pop up on Twitter. It seems like a lifetime ago:

                    she lost her battle with mental health. yeah, that sounds like a nice way of saying she killed herself.

                      You can run from mental health - but you can't escape it.

                      There are only so many Ponyboy sunsets that will sustain you - and until they flicker - it's a hell of a thing to stay gold.

                          You can't escape it. You can only play defense and tell yourself that there are still miles to go.

                              My mental health ran from me. I decided not to chase it.

                                That can be so tiring.
