While we waited we talked about the morning news, and were saddened to learn &#8212; fearful really &#8212; that J. J. Cale had died. Fearful, because when artists you came up with start passing it&#8217;s like hearing the <em><del><\/del>whoosh<\/em> of the Reaper&#8217;s scythe overhead, your own head.
