Fats Missing? *UPDATE (found! - sorta)
Breaking AP story:
NEW YORK -
Fats Domino was missing Thursday, days after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, said his longtime agent, Al Embry. Embry told The Associated Press that he hadn't been able to contact Domino since talking to him Sunday evening by phone.[skip] Checquoline Davis, Domino's niece, posted a message on Craigslist.com Thursday pleading for information.
Although we all wish that he is fine, it may be that in the end, Fats was not able to find that thrill atop Blueberry Hill, or any hill, for that matter, after all. Ain't That a Shame?
*UPDATE
CNN bases their report on a New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer's shot taken Monday night. Fats was plucked from rising floodwaters by a boat. His whereabouts since the rescue were not immediately known.

On the plus side, I've got the inside word that, though he was missing for 20 or so hours, Harry Anderson of 'Night Court' and 'Dave's World' fame is now safe and sound.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
