Studs died today in Chicago at age 96 - he had a hell of a good run.

Listening to a tribute of sorts right now on All Things Considered.

Working just about right up to the end it seems. Hell of a good run, indeed.

You are kidding.....I didn't know he was sick. RIP an icon

Sam, he had been quite frail over the past year or so. He fell a couple weeks ago and just couldn't recover.

Sad to say goodbye but what a life he had!

They put together a nice tribute on short order. I'm hoping there is an expanded version over the weekend.

Audio will be up later on their site - [www.npr.org]

I'm tempted to say it's a damn shame, but if there's anything on the other side of this life he's just found a whole new beat to cover and is no doubt happier than a pig in sht. So I'll just say "Thanks, Studs." and leave it at that.

R.I.P. Mr. Terkel.

Mr. Lahey: Why don't you get a life Rick? Why don't ya go to community college like Julian here. Hey, I got a good idea. You could teach, livin' in a car and growin' dope 101.

Ricky: Hehe. And you can teach how to get drunk, get fired from the police force, become a... lousy trailer park supervisor that sucks, hangs around with a @#$%&' idiot that doesn't wear a shirt, and looks like a dick but thinks he looks good... 101.

Aw crap.
