Jeff Healey, R.I.P.
As I have mentioned more than once, the Patrick Swayze movie "Road House" is one of those films I never get tired of. Well, that I never get tired of the first half, at least. And it's one of those things that the bride and I have bonded over. Sure, it's a bad movie in a lot of ways, but it has many good things, including the musical performances by Jeff Healey. Now word comes that Healey has died. That's a shame. He was a formidable musician and, as the obit notes, one who overcame a great deal along the way.
(A postscript: "Road House" star Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, per the National Enquirer. The New York Post has a follow-up, with a Swayze rep more optimistic.)
