The king of cool was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 75.

The company that I work for owns the cable network Bounce TV, which features Soul Train as a regular part of their programming schedule. They'll be running a complete evening of Soul Train this Saturday night, going to 2am.

One of my older sisters was a huge fan of Motown and other great soul sounds of the 70s, so Soul Train was regular viewing in our household. I'm sad to hear this.

Someone just pointed out to me that this is the first day of Black History Month. That's a messed up coincidence.

Sad news.

Is it bad that I keep seeing his funeral in my head, guys on one side, girls on the other and they meet in the middle of the aisle and dance down to view his coffin.

I can't decide if this is tasteless or not, but I saw the following posting on Facebook:

"Today's scramble: DINPOR"
