Lovely remembrance of @howardfineman by @samstein Howard was a true mensch; kind-hearted and generous of spirit. Equally eager to learn the ins and outs of digital journalism, and dispense his hard-earned, old-school wisdom. He’ll be missed. huffpost.com/entry/howard-fi…

A stipulation in my will: before the coffin is sealed, put headphones on me and blast “All Revved Up With No Place to Go.” If I don’t jump up and start rocking out, go ahead and put me in the ground—I’m definitely dead. #RIPMeatloaf youtu.be/241mnuTfRe4
