I understand that his last recording was on an open mic after a recording session, when he walked into the room alone with only his guitar and sang the amazing "Redemption Song."
I hope that story is true - it should be. But even if it's not, that song delivers up an honest and artistic power rarely caught in a recording studio.
But the deal is that this Bob Marley post just won't go away from the top of every day. I'm thinking that this can't be intentional. I mean, that's my take.
But the end is near. This post is dated August 29, and as of right now the post at the bottom of the main page is dated August 25. Ed hasn't blogged much recently, but a little more activity will finally take care of this.
It's just a bug? Oh. I assumed that Ed had made it a sticky post, like you do in WordPress when you want something to keep showing up on the top of your posts. And I was thinking that he did it because of the message of the song.

So when is this item going to be pushed off the top of your main page?

When something pushes it, I guess.

Noticed that the size of the music box shrank... will it just fade away?
I heard a song by Adele that's pretty good.
Kinda liked that foodtruck song too or maybe it was the visual expressiveness of the performer. Not sure.
There's also this guy James Taylor who reminds me of Kurt Cobain. Both good.

It's kind of weird.

It's a weird Typepad bug.
