“Take it easy, but take it.” | Studs Terkel, 1912-2008


I have a few random recollections of charming encounters with Studs Terkel, but then most everyone who lived in Chicago for any stretch has those. It was hard not to run into Studs Terkel.

Just over a month ago Stuart Lifson paid tribute to Studs on his Hello Beautiful! Today he posted a sad but inevitable update.

Go read.

And go vote Tuesday, if you’ve not done so already.

So long, Studs.
