"Let's all drink to the [recovery] of a clown"

Kinks guitarist and God among men Dave Davies has suffered a stroke. Well he actually suffered a stroke on June 30, but we're just hearing about it now. This is bad enough news (especially hot on the heels of recent Ramones and Bowie health scares), but Davies still has not regained movement on his right side and faces at least another month of rehab. A special "go fuck yourself" to E! Online for the first sentence in their coverage of the news: "Dave Davies is working out the kinks after suffering a stroke last month." Oh that's fucking hilarious. Look, it's all well and good to make fun of people once they're dead, but are the brainiacs at E! really this disrespectful? More importantly, are they that desperate for a pun? I can just hear Billy Bush or Steve Kmetko saying this with a smarmy half-grin, wondering all the while who in hell Dave Davies is. Anyway, stay strong, Dave. We're all pulling for you.
