Dana Reeves the widow of actor Christopher Reeves died today of lung cancer at the age of 44. Sadly enough, she never smoked a cigarette in her life, but was still struck down by the disease. Her husband Christopher died back in October 2004 at the age of 52. The Christopher Reeve Foundation will continue to the Reeves' vision to help people with spinal-cord injuries and to make life more liveable for those suffering from paralysis. (AP/Photo)
Ali Farka Toure passed today as well. Known as the "bluesman of Africa" the performer is probably best known in the States for his Grammy winning collaboration with guitarist Ry Cooder on "Talking Timbuktu". (I am not trying to make this an Obit-blog, but I guess these things come in threes sometimes.)
