Almost missed this… from The Warehouse (yesterday):

What’s going on recently? All these great minds in Entertainment (Music and Comedy) have been leaving us lately. First, it was Bernie Mac, then Isaac Hayes, and now LeRoi Moore. I don’t know how it’ll be in a couple of weeks as I got tickets to see DMB perform at the Greek Theatre (UC Berkeley) on September 6th. It’s just not the same with his sax. My heart goes out to his family, friends, DMB and the rest of the Warehouse.
