It’s understandable that a New York newspaper might post a note on the passing of Bobby Short on its editorial page.
It’s less clear why the interim editorial page editor of the Houston Chronicle felt the need to reminisce about the fine time he and his brother had listening to Short in New York, effectively treating the editorial page with which he’s entrusted as his own personal LiveJournal.
No disrespect is intended to Short, but the column just seems out of place (though perhaps less so than Andrea Georgsson’s past adventures with leftovers). Perhaps our readers can explain it to me in the comments.
