Tragic news. Singer/songwriter Kirsty MacColl died in a boating accident in Mexico. She was one of England's most talented songwriters with a wit to rival Oscar Wilde and an ability to marry latin rhythms with a British sensibility. I was a fan for years and was very lucky to see her concert this summer. She was best known for writing the Tracey Ullman hit, They Don't Know, and for singing A New England. Terrible loss. I'm depressed.
