Sandy West, Dead at 47

FBLA wonders if there’s a ranking in the obits section of the LA Times. We ask because today’s coverage is misguided, to say the least.

Today, the lead obituary is of San Francisco-based cartoonist Miriam Engelbaum who died at 48 of breast cancer. Jocelyn Stewart tells her story pretty plainly, but effectively. Smiling through tears, etc.

But–buried, and no pun intended, is a wire-service story of the death of rock goddess, Sandy West, drummer for The Runaways.
