Vanity R.I.P.

I just got the word through one of the commenters on this blog that pop siren/Prince protege Vanity died earlier today at the age of 57. You might recall that I had planned for tomorrow's 4DK Monthly Movie Shout Down to feature Never Too Young to Die, a film in which she starred. Under these circumstances, I feel that it just wouldn't sit right to mock anything in which she was involved, so I've cancelled the Shout Down for this month. It will return on the second Tuesday of next month with a new film. In the meantime, perhaps we should all put "Nasty Girl" on repeat and pour one out for an 80s goddess gone too soon.
