Since we like any excuse for a holiday as much as you, the fact that today is Labor Day in the US will do. (Sorry, the rest of the world who celebrates workers on May 1st! The US just has to be different!) We’ll be back Tuesday, all barbecued and beach volleyballed up, and not wearing white unless of course we want to.
In the meantime, several of us have contributed to a mini-Jukebox R.I.P. for Juan Gabriel, the legendary Mexican singer, which you can read on Jonathan Bogart’s tumblr here. If you want to write about a Juan Gabriel song to be added to the post, submissions are still open.
