    Comment: I just read the latest report from CNN which was simultaniuosly brodcasted in the New York Time databank and should be front page news tomorrow. Apparently the Medical Examiners report was released to the family today. It showed that there was no trace of illegal substances in Heath Ledger's body and there was only a small trace of 2 drugs that were found in his room, thus ruling out overdose. The report goes on to state that "it appears Mr Ledger suffered a mild stroke that rendered him unconcious". They are now reporting that it was complications resulting from the stroke that caused Heath Ledger's death. They have not released any details beyond what I have just shared with you, however I am sure it will be well known with in the hour.
    In today's society where journalism revolves around a jumble of half truths, I think the media has shown alot of class when dealing with this sensitive subject. I have read many reports speculating that "drugs may be a factor" however with each report came a disclaimer stating no evidence could support that theory. I appreciate the respect the media has shown to the family and friends of Heath Ledger and the acknoledgment of his vast accomplishments as an actor.

    Comment: "The Mighty Quinn" is not, as David Gates says here, "on 'The Basement Tapes'." The song "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)" is on "Self Portrait." Unless by "on" David means "on the LP cover." The photo on the very fun jacket of "The Basement Tapes" has Dylan and members of The Band posing with a veritable circus of supporting characters, including a guy I take to be Quinn himself, attired in a furry parka.
