Slate magazine over the weekend posted a terrific remembrance of Michael Jackson and another on the death of Kodachrome.  There's a dark take on life in New York magazine's blog -- some of the quirks of timing through history where celebrity deaths are concerned.

We're also remembering one of my favorites as a veteran talk-show viewer from the '60s and '70s -- Fred Travalena.

Otherwise, we hope you can join us for our Monday broadcast -- as we start another week.
