TAKE A LOAD OFF, ANNIE, AND YOU PUT THE LOAD RIGHT ON ME: I thought I said all I needed to say about Levon Helm, who died today (and for whatever reason, I'm sadder than I expected), except I just read this in the Huffington Post. I haven't said much (anything) nice about Bruce Springsteen here, but, as this story goes, when Helm was about to lose his house because of his medical bills, Springsteen turned up at Helm's house with a million-dollar check and Helm said he couldn't take it. That says a lot about both guys.
