A greatly underrated and underappreciated guitarist has left this world. Condolences to his family who, of course, I know not at all.

I won’t say much more than that–I’m sure that many bits and dead trees will be consumed in memorializing Mr. Harrison in the coming days, offering words far more eloquent and worthwhile than any meager contribution from me. As a metacomment, however, it will be interesting to see how we deal with the first major celebrity death since, well…, you know. Are we starting to get back to normal?
