The Long Read Thread - I think that's what it's called

[Carl]

Thought maybe a thread for longer "articles" might be interesting to peruse. If not, so be it.

Note the articles are long, so I am only posting the link.

This one is about Tommy Lasorda's youngish son who died of aids.

Ok, that's enough for now. If no one likes this stuff, just delete the thread.

This is a good read from a great writer; about Aretha Franklin.

Alan Shipnuck, who having met on several occasions, I really don't like; however credit where credit is due; has an amazing Tiger Woods article on the cover of this weeks SI.

Dont want to post a link, because at the moment there are videos and ads throughout. But if you like golf, or Tiger google it. Won't be hard to find.
