The Green, Green Grass of Home_RIP Heath

This morning on my ride into work I had to stop the album I was listening to, I had to see if the local stations were discussing the horribly saddening news of Heath Ledger's passing yesterday. I still remember being in college when I heard of River Phoenix's death. I remember being distressed with thoughts of his brother Joaquin watching as he overdosed - having to make that call. Haunts me to this day.What breaks my heart the most: thinking of his daughter's loss. Mathilda will have but a few memories of her doting father; chances are she won't remember him at all. For the first two 1/2 hours, I didn't listen to a thing; I read a few posts, I did some work & I shot a few emails to a friend talking specifically about Heath's passing. Usually, by 10:30 am I've been consistently listening to music for 4 solid hours. *Not today.*I finally broke down a few minutes ago & plugged my earphones into my bluepod, putting it on shuffle. What's the first song to hit my eardrums... Johnny Cash, Live at Folsom Prison, *Green, Green Grass of Home*.Sorry for your troubles Heath. You will be missed terribly by those who knew & loved you, by those who knew of you. Thank you for giving so much of yourself in the brief time you spent on this earth. *_"Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak treeas they lay me neath the green, green grass of home."_*
