He Will Be Missed

Earl Root passed away a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know the man but dug his now-defunct record store. And his metal show, "The Root of All Evil", is the best post-barclose radio show around. Every year - generally in the winter - I go through a "Root of All Evil" phase and tune in late Saturday night (actually Sunday morning) with a nightcap or two and get my metal kicks out the riffage and the laughs of the hosts. Hopefully the show will carry on.

Pete Scholtes has a nice recap of Earl's memorial service. RIP, Earl Root.
