While going through the Wikipedia Deaths for this week’s newsletter, imagine my shock when Christine McVie was listed. At that moment, the news hadn’t even been announced on the major news outlets. My heart just dropped. Bad enough to lose Irene Cara this past week, too. And so sad about Jake Flint, a country singer, who died a day after his wedding. No jokes, please. I can’t imagine the pain for his bride. Our sincerest condolences to the families and close friends of each of them. We will truly miss them. Wouldn’t it be nice if Christine and Irene got together and wrote a new song and then, somehow, inspired it to someone here on earth?
