  3. A New Orleans music legend

    I didn't know he had written St. James Infirmary




  4. I read a great article in the Advocate about Toussaint. Was in the print paper but it wasn't online that I could see.

    Toussaint's body of work was enormous. Story called him a "one man Motown.". He wrote hit songs for every New Orleans musician you ever heard of. Irma Thomas said he wrote "It's Rainin'" in the bathroom of his house.

    If anybody sees the article online please post it. It's worth reading

    Though NBC did not specify what Sheen’s announcement would entail, the National Enquirer reports the actor is HIV positive. TMZ also reports that sources close to “Today” say Sheen will reveal that he is HIV positive.
