I should have said "Daily death: John Stewart -- massive stroke",
since someone dies everyday. Oh, well. A golden opportunity lost.

At least you got the reference.

In rec.music.folk nobody needed to mention "Kingston Trio", though post
it here without such a reference and likely someone will start
talking about The Daily Show.

Of course, for the yonger set here, the Real John Stewart might
be remembered for "Bombs Away Dream Babies" from 1979, though I
only realized much later that it was the same guy who was in
The Kingston Trio.

He's the man who never returned.

He'll never return
No, he'll never return
And his fate is still unknown . . .

Okay, sure, Smash Mouth covered the song for the Shrek movies, but

And therefore probably the song that he was best known for, although
I *loved* his story songs, such as "Mother Country" and "Armstrong."
I saw him live at a club in the Bay Area once. Sorry to hear of his
passing.
