rest in peace...

Luciano Pavarotti died this morning after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

I don't know about you, but I grew up thinking his name was synonymous with all things cultural, beautiful and passionate. He was graced with an amazing gift... I'm a little sad this morning and it seems that a little bit of color has gone out of the world. Maybe I'll just have to go listen to him singing Nessun Dorma a few times, and be uplifted...
