Class Act

I was very saddened to learn yesterday that Detroit poet, musician, carpenter, and arts activist Mick Vranich had died after a serious fall on a construction site in which he suffered a head injury, punctured lung, and broken vertabrae.

Earlier this month, I submitted a story to Metro Times celebrating a few of the hard-working, class-act musicians in the city. The story, which ran today, had already been sent to the presses by the time I heard the news, but I’d like to offer a little tribute here to Mick, an iconic Detroiter who will be missed.
