Bleeding in Denver

Marc Cohn - songwriter, pianist and the writer of long-time Cities 97 warhorse song "Walking In Memphis", was shot in the head in a parking ramp in Denver.

A Grammy-winning musician and husband of ABC news reporter Elizabeth Vargas was treated at a hospital and released Monday after being shot in the head during an attempted carjacking following a performance.

Marc Cohn, who had a hit with the song "Walking in Memphis" and won the Grammy for best new artist in 1992, was struck in the temple Sunday night when a man fired into his band's van in a parking garage. A suspect was being sought.

The suspect, by the way, is nobody to laugh at.

I highlight this story mainly because of how I got there. On Drudge, the link to the story is written:

Husband of ABCNEWS anchor Elizabeth Vargas shot in head...
You know your career needs a jolt when you get second-bill to a B-list ABC anchor in a story about your own shooting.

I like that song. It tells a story, really sets the mood and puts you in the heart of West TN.

I like it too. But certain stations played it to death when it came out.
