Well, Reagan’s dead. This blog will not bother to note the arguable merits of his conservative legacy. It’s being done to death, so to speak, on lots of sites. I just want to say that Alzheimers is a horrible disease, and I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. Anyway …
Now he’s Gone
Lord he’s gone
Like a steam locomotive
rolling down the track
He’s gone
He’s gone
and nothing’s gonna bring him back
He’s gone
Nine mile skid
on a ten mile ride
Hot as a pistol
but cool inside
— the Dead
