@M.O.
Thanks for keeping us abreast of this mainstream headline. I got wind of the unfortunate news on MSN and FOX, as well as another blog site.
My heart goes out to the friends and family of both gentleman. Being a victim of a plane crash, survivor or not, requires years of emotional and physical healing. Many rough days lie ahead for two very talented artists, who have assisted in bridging the gap between music and cultural styles.
May the Lord bless them with the countenance to heal and be spiritually revived through their impending struggles.
