I regret never having the opportunity to meet him personally, because there are
very few people on this list with an over the top sense of humor

It's hard to fathom the extreme burden she and her family must be under right now.

The "We Love Candye Kane Benefit" for this big hearted woman, mother and friend, an extremely talented singer, songwriter, performer and life activist, will be held at Humphrey's
Backstage Lounge (San...

Wow. this is a sad day. I agree with c.n.
I wish I could have put a face with a name before today.
