Chesnutt was 45 years old. The Athens, Georgia-based Chesnutt was something of an icon in the indie rock community who wrote spare, darkly comic tunes about love and death. His famous fans included R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe (another Athens native), Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and former Throwing Muses frontwoman Kristin Hersh. When he was 18, Chesnutt was in a car accident that... mtv.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2416545/posts#comment Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:20:07 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2416283/posts A really cute little video to brighten your day.

The 66-year-old Ellington handled the snub and resulting controversy with customary aplomb. "Fate is being kind to me," the Maestro said. "Fate doesn't want me to be famous too young." In truth, Ellington had his eye on loftier concerns.

But whether it's your first iPod or an overdue update, the increasing complexity of the iPod (and the iTunes software behind it) can be challenging to wrap your head around. To shorten the distance between unboxing and rocking out, I've put together a collection of all the major iPod and iTunes tutorials I've created over the course of the year. Happy holidays.
