RIP Etta James

What an incredible voice featured here in, "I'd Rather Go Blind" - Etta James 1938 - 2012.  Ms. James died of complications from Lukemia.

Bill Lee is the man

Deadspin re-printed a wicked High Times article from the 80's featuring the former Expos pitcher, Bill Lee. This guy had a pretty decent career, but it was his alternative lifestyle and intellect that made him remarkable.  An open drug user, Bill Lee might seem salacious but in actuality this guy was really bright and his irreverence towards the baseball powers-that-be, is pretty amazing.  Check it out.
