Alexis Arguello, mayor of Managua and one-time near-household name, is dead at 57, probably by his own hand. Of the several appreciations I've read since I heard the news, Bill Gallo's is the best; take a moment to remember or learn about a fighter whose story is worth hearin:. 81-7, 65 knockouts, no draws. Men retire having fought fewer total bouts than Arguello won by KO. At rest now.
What's this, then?
Hallo und wilkommen in Mus Mus Tail, which is kind of like a diary, if by "diary" you mean "place where John talks almost exlusively about boxing." Go here if it's the Mountain Goats you crave, including tour dates, news, and so forth. Over yonder is where I write about music. Here's where I send money as often as I can, and I hope you'll join me. And here's where you can buy me stuff if you're feeling so inclined.
