A suicide.... "I've eaten a lot of bad food, I've eaten a lot of putrefied food," Bourdain said. "It's when no one cares at all, that's soul-destroying. I mean, maybe I take it too seriously, but I will literally -- a really carelessly made burger by a large cynical large company, the contempt implicit in that transaction can really send me into a spiral of depression that will last for days."

Vinnie Paul, Pantera Drummer and Co-Founder, Dead at 54

Pantera is one of my favorite bands - Vinnie was a great drummer. They went through a lot when Phil left and again when Dime Bag (Vinnie's Brother) was murdered on stage. This band meant a lot to a lot of people.
