The Writer's Almanac from Sunday, June 9, 2013
Well shit! Porter died "half a man" and Dickens died at 58. Crap! Damn.
I kind of wish now that I hadn't read this today. Oh well . . . I guess I must just resolve then to enjoy this day that the LORD has made, to REJOICE and be GLAD in it! Huh?
Cole Porter - the famous name, the fantastic songs, and I never once heard the story of his accident and pain.
They left his grave open for a week? No wonder people kept throwing in flowers.
