    The brilliant light that is America, has just dimmed a bit. R.I.P. Mr. Bradley, you were a class act. There's a bit of rum that's getting thrown in the dirt tonight.

    Cool dude, indeed. I saw him riding around in a golf cart on the outer track on the New Orlean's Jazz Fest this year. I later saw him hanging back stage. It's ironic he got the interview with Tiger Woods after Earl Woods died of cancer himself.
