New Orleans-born novelist Anne Rice, known best for her 1976 thriller “Interview With The Vampire,” has died. 
She was 80 years old. 

She had a complicated relationship with Christianity, but it sounded like a while back she had gotten saved.

Unfortunately, it sounded as if she'd backtracked on Christianity, after it wouldn't bend over backwards to appease the carnal desires of her homosexual son.

I thought she backtracked too.  I didn't really follow all of her gyrations, but it seemed to me that she was regressing after awhile.

Guitarist Don Wilson, last surviving founder of surf-rock pioneers The Ventures, dies at 88.

I saw The Ventures back in the late 90's and they put on one of the best shows I've ever seen.  They did all kinds of interesting things like a bass solo using drum sticks, things I've never seen before or since.  Very unique band.
