Stop the Presses! Here's News of the Dead!

Images-2  Big news today, as Hank Williams was awarded the Pullitzer Prize! In 2010! Like, Hankandaudrey57 years after he died! It is kind of inexplicable, except that the award comes from the same organization that gives prizes to that Big Gray Pack o' Lies, the New York Times, on a semi-regular basis. Anyway, congratulations to one of WFMU's favorite dead singer-songwriters!

I heard about this last night on BBC World Service. I especially enjoyed the interview of the chairman of the Hank Williams Museum in Georgiana, Alabama--I don't think I've ever heard "genre" pronounced like he did around the 1:40 mark.

Speaking of News Of The Dead - I just heard that Pete Steele of Type O Negative died! If that isn't a stop-the-presses...!

Congratulations to old skullface Hank. Was it for one of the sickest songs ever recorded, "Kaw Liga"?

Pete Steele of Carnivore and Type-O Negative. Yes, true. He had a heart attack, age 48.
