Ian MacKaye died yesterday morning at 6a.m. Some piece of shit hit him the night before with his car stopped and then cowardly took off. If you don't know he sang for Minor Threat and Fugazi.

Actually this was proved to be a hoax.

Actually it was a rumour that got started that the Baltimore Sun ran with. Ian is alive and well.

wow i can't believe a newspaper actually ran this. don't people fact check anymore? seems like it would be easy enough to call dischord and confirm, call the hospital, get a quote from someone, etc.

Adrian bummed me out with this yesterday, until I thought it seemed odd and I googled it. Of course I passed on a bulletin about a horse sterilizer used with date rape drugs last week, only to be bombarded with emails about it being an urban legend. I love the internet!
