In Memoriam

This is not so much "My Article" as the section header suggests, but it's taking such a life of its own I thought I'd pull it out to the sidebar.

#Treme writer and producer David Mills passed away from a brain aneurysm.  Also wrote for NYPD Blue, Homicide: Life on the Street, and The Wire.  A knowledgeable music aficionado, he blogged as Undercover Black Man
So sad, the world has lost a great talent.

David Mills benefited from all that television could do and helped out point out the high road demanded of serious writers willing to take it.
