That's got a bit of poetic irony to it...

The last 3 albums I listened to in my van were all Kinks, albeit ones released before Ian was a member.

Cause of death is as of yet unconfirmed, though rumoured to be suicide.

^oh wow, that's terrible. the Purple Mountains album he just released is really fucking good. lyrically it is pretty depressing though. if that was indicative of his recent state of mind, then he was definitely in a dark place.

Together again.

Well, hopefully he's not resting anywhere peaceful or in peace...

It's easy to hate on the Kochs, and with good reason, but they aren't all bad, giving over $1 billion to charity.  Although a lot of those were conservative causes, some were for the common good.

generosity isn't giving something you have lots of, generosity is giving something to someone when they need it more than you. fuck'em

any good done isn’t in a vacuum, gotta weigh it against the bad. 

It's called 'reputation laundering'
