Dayton, Ohio band Hawthorne Heights announced on their website this weekend that their guitarist, Casey Calvert, had passed away during the night Friday night. The band’s message to their fans reads:
Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We’ve spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we’re not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don’t contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don’t want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.
Hawthorne Heights were due to play the Roxy in Atlanta tonight.

Catching up on last week’s news: Neil Diamond confesses to writing his eponymous hit Sweet Caroline about the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.
“It was a picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony,” Diamond recalled. “It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there.”
Diamond revealed the inspiration while taking a break from recording his new album with mega-producer Rick Rubin, and recently performed the song via satellite for Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg’s 50th birthday party.

Sweet Caroline Lyrics (just because):
Where it began, I can’t begin to know when
But then I know it’s growing strong
Wasn’t the spring
And spring became the summer
Who’d believe you’d come alongHands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I’ve been inclined to believe it never wouldAnd now I, I look at the night
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding youOne, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I’ve been inclined to believe it never would
