Ink in the blood
Sometimes it's fascinating to find out about the origins of someone you didn't know much about. I was a bit surprised this morning to read of the death of the father of rocker Neil Young: Scott Young, who died this weekend, was 87 and wrote for the Globe & Mail in Toronto, where this obituary ran, as well as other Canadian news organizations, and wrote several books, including one about his relationship with his famous son. Somehow I don't picture the author of the song about 'a town in north Ontario' as a product of Canada's largest city.
Speaking of journalists, there's a new blog written by a group of retired journalists, called From Hot Type to Blog, and it seems to have a strong Miami connection: all the writers have worked at least part of their careers at the now-defunct Miami News, including former News editor Howard Kleinberg, who's written about the history of Miami for years, and whose column ran on The Herald's editorial pages for many years after the News died. posted by liz at 9:41 AM
