2. Oh how sad.

Every Democrat should know who Studs Turkel is. He has done so much to help the "common person" be heard.

6. Great man. Incredible writer.
He took the oral history to unbounded heights. "Working" was an amazing book.

14. Read his book Hard Times
Hard Times was a great work and I'm glad my college professor included it as part of the course.

Alot of my thinking on things is derived from that book. Highly recommended.

16. So sorry to hear Studs go
but I'll bet Woody Guthrie's glad to see him! I'm sure Amy Goodman will have a great tribute for him on Monday on DemocracyNow.org he was a frequent guest.
