 Obituary:  Paul Daniel, "Ace" Frehley, 74, a member of the rock group Kiss, has died from complications from a fall about a month earlier.  He played lead guitar.

Snip:

Frehley joined cofounders Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Peter Criss late in 1972 and remained with the band for their most significant eras: He left in 1982 for a solo career, but rejoined when the original band reunited in 1996 for a highly lucrative reunion tour and remained until 2002. He worked a solo artist during the intervening years, with his band Frehley’s Comet and under his own name; in 1978, when all four members of Kiss released solo albums simultaneously, many fans felt that Frehley’s, which featured his hit cover of the song “New York Groove,” was the best.

This is actually a pretty good obituary and quite long.

The new monument at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, honoring the late Cody Dorman and his namesake, Cody's Wish, is the subject of this NPR article.

The bronze horse is so lifelike, I have to do a doubletake when I see it.  It is a great sculpting job.
