Country Music Hall of Famer Don Gibson, a hit artist and songwriter who penned classics Sweet Dreams, I Can't Stop Loving You and Oh Lonesome Me, died yesterday of natural causes at Baptist Hospital in Nashville. He was 75.

"He sang very well, and I go back to the great songs he wrote," said fellow Hall of Famer Eddy Arnold. "Golly Bill, those were monsters that he wrote."

on edit: Now playing on the CD player, my personal DG favorite: "Ain't a'Gonna Waste My Time" (1956)

2. Damn it all day!
Why is it that people who actually have something to contribute to this world keep dying off like clockwork--and the exploiters live forever?

No Justice, I says!
