I hated that he was the voice of nearly EVERYONE on the show, and that Chef Brockett was uber scary (it was the gravelly voice), but began to appreciate the gentle and subtle nature of how he could teach without overtly teaching.

We’ll miss you, Fred.

I’m pretty heartbroken. Mister Rogers was supposed to live forever, and I guess in a way he will.

Joe Henry in the LA Times on Music's Literary Side. It's really good until he mentions Alice Munro (barf). [+]

You should go listen to this NPR interview with Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. Go listen, now. Seriously. Go. She talks about the whole Exile on Mainstreet/Guyville thing. It's fascinating. [+]

Could The Deets be any cuter? No, no he couldn't be. [+]
