Like so many online who knew Steve and his work, we were saddened this past week when Steve lost his battle with heart issues and passed away at the age of 42.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow at Noon eastern, we will have a special edition of "Heading Left" - "A Show For Steve." Please call in 646-652-4803 and share your memories of Steve or thoughts about how the media has covered his passing. We hope you will join us.<BR/><BR/>You can listen live by clicking here or you can also listen to the show archived at your convenience.<BR/><BR/>http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/6/7/204946/3272Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-40430542095501174622007-06-07T19:36:00.000-05:002007-06-07T19:36:00.000-05:00"Bollox!
