Rock ’N' Roll Legend Chuck Berry Dead At 90 | The Huffington Post

Beside being one of the most important American cultural influences of the past 65 years, his music is just so damn fun to listen (and dance) to.

A very real loss.

A sitting black, Muslim, female judge.

I'm not convinced she committed suicide. Not by a longshot. There are too many people who would have liked to see her gone.
