1. R.I.P. Hank Cochran (August 2nd, 1935 - July 15th, 2010). The legendary country songwriter (more so poet) has died yesterday. Though a fruitful songwriter who’s written such great hits as Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces” and Eddy Arnold’s “Make the World Go Away”, he was probably mostly well-known for being the one half of the Cochran Brothers. The other half, you guessed it, being Mr. Eddie Cochran himself (and no, they weren’t brothers). He also gave Willie Nelson his big break. Cochran had been recently getting cancerous tumors removed from his lymph nodes and pancreas and more recently a large aortic aneurysm. All the surgical activity proved to be too much and inevitably killed him. He was 74.
