ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

I am absolutely gutted to hear Michael Hastings, the journalist best known for bringing down General Stanley McChrystal in an article he wrote for Rolling Stone died yesterday in a car crash, here in Hollywood.

I was a fan and Rolling Stone, for sure will not be the same without him on board. His friends have said he was under a whole lot of pressure, I guess when you write the stuff he did some powerful people were pissed at him. It has been alleged government officials were all over him, wondering who was next and I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be true, hope someone shakes that tree hard enough, so the culprits gonna drop out.

I sure do hope someone out there will follow his fearless reporting style but it would take a whole hell of a lot of courage to step into those shoes. He was one of the good guys and faced the lot of them down with only the truth.

Matt Farwell, a friend and colleague of Michael Hastings told Rolling Stone: "As a journalist he specialised in speaking truth to power and laying it all out there. He was irascible in his reporting and sometimes/often/always infuriating in his writing: he lit a bright lamp for those who wanted to follow his example … He always sought out the hard stories, pushed for the truth, let it all hang out on the page."

That just about sums him up and don't think just because he's dead, he's gone; he'll be watching em.
