Over the past two years this page has marked the passing of noted artists (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bowie, Alan Rickman) remembered those long departed (Sinatra, Eva Cassidy, Harry Nilsson), reflected on some important musicians (Don Henley, McCartney, Rundgren) or just pointed out beautiful work, such as a letter from Virginia Woolf or an essay by David Rakoff.
