Mike's Blog Round Up
December 24, 2014

We are mourning the loss of Joe Cocker, who is the mascot here at Mike's Blog Round Up. One of my few absolute rules of life is that you must, Must, MUST see the living legends when/if you can; gone is forever, so grab those opportunities. Cocker's rare kind of talent—that divine spark—comes along once in a lifetime. We're so lucky that he shared it with us.
