The Bulwark Podcast
Wright Thompson: The Ghosts of Mississippi

And like, uh, like if your name is not Natasha Monet or Chloe or Mickey or Billy or Bruce Hornsby or John Mayer, Jeff O'Teele or Jay, maybe you should shut the fuck up.

But like, you know, in typical, I guess, narcissist journalist fashion, I mean, my whole thoughts were like, oh, what does this say about me?

And so there's an awful big Bob Weir-sized hole in the lives of his family now.

And I imagine that grieving process is not going to be easy.
