I was going to try to bookend the day with tragedy, but since a few people have written in requesting my authoritative take on the matter, here's the weekend's other mournful news: Isaac Hayes was found collapsed beside a treadmill Sunday afternoon and was pronounced dead shortly after. Hayes was a prominent figure in both the worlds of funky '70s theme song-writing and sexually-preoccupied cafeteria worker voice-acting, and recently completed filming on Soul Men alongside Bernie Mac. Sad coincidence or a Soul Men curse? You decide.*
*It's the curse one.
