B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU-FM, 90.5/ SAT., 8 AUG. 2009

The beloved and great Willy DeVille, seated with his first wife, Toots, at CBGB's in the mid-1970's. DeVille sadly passed away a few days ago in NY. While in high school, the Boy Wonder bought a Mink DeVille 45 single, "Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl" b/w "Spanish Stroll" and was promptly blown away. If Springsteen was "The Boss" of Ashbury Park, NJ, then Willy DeVille was "The Prince" of Alphabet City, NYC (Lower East Side). Hoist a glass for the late LES crooner. You'll be missed. Check out the latest NY Times obit piece on Mr. DeVille.

'Tis sad news to hear of Frank McCourt's death. He was a writer, teacher and human being who deserved the success, the awards and attention he received for his first memoir, Angela's Ashes, a well-written, non-sentimental and humorous look upon his upbringing from NY to Limerick, Ireland. The movie version is poxy.
