Moby Shaken After Witnessing Aftermath Of Train Fatality
Moby checked in with fans on his official web site’s journal at Moby.com on Thursday (March 11), sharing details of his disturbing day on the train.
Warning, this update really isn’t for anyone who’s squeamish.
I’m currently on a train from Philadelphia to New York. About 5 minutes ago the conductor announced that there was a problem up ahead and we were going to be delayed a bit. No one on the train paid any notice, as small delays are common, and kept reading their newspapers or working on their laptops.
We pulled through a local station and I looked out the window and saw a lot of police cars, police tape, and police officers. I looked down and saw blood and viscera on the tracks. Then more blood. More viscera. And torn clothing. For the next 1/2 mile I saw more and more blood and pieces of torn clothing and unidentifiable viscera and body parts. Clearly someone had been very recently hit and killed by a very fast train. A lot of the viscera was being covered up by police officers, but most of it was scattered around the train tracks. So I’m looking out the window, stunned and horrified at the slow procession of someones remains, and I look around the train car and see that I’m the only one aware of what’s going on and what has happened.
Everyone else on the train was reading their papers or on their computers, blissfully unaware that we were 5 feet from the remains of someone who had been destroyed violently about 15 minutes before. We’ve left the police scene, and now the train is speeding along again, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Everyone’s still reading their papers, drinking their coffee, focused on sports scores and news and emails, with no knowledge of the horror we just slowly passed through.
A ticket collector just walked up the aisle, her face ashen and her eyes wide and shocked, so I assume she saw what we just passed through.Moby
Cheryl Cole Apologizes For Canceling Appearances Due To Bronchitis
Cheryl Cole sent out a message to her fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (March 11), apologizing for having to cancel some performances she had scheduled due to bronchitis. The Girls Aloud star writes:
..Hi guys…
As some of you may know, I’m really ill at the moment with a nasty case of bronchitis. Unfortunately, I’m stuck in bed under strict doctor’s orders, so I’ve had no other choice than to cancel my performances on the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross Show and the Radio 1 Live Lounge this week. Gutted!
It’s a good job I’ve got my iPod to keep me entertained, l’m loving Ellie Goulding’s album right now!
I’m really sorry for letting you down and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Lots of love,
Cheryl x

Bic Runga Sad After Her Favorite Acoustic Guitar Is Stolen
Bic Runga updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (March 10), upset after her prized acoustic guitar was nicked. The New Zealand singer songwriter tells readers:
My favorite acoustic guitar got stolen tonight from Brown St in Ponsonby. It’s a parlor sized guitar, a Sterling. I’m sad man. Pat from Wilco was in love with it, I wish I’d given it to him, rather than have it go this way. My poor little guitar! I’ll watch out on Trade Me but it’s probably a goner.
The tour with Dave Dobbyn and Tim Finn was amazing, we toured New Zealand vineyards for a whole month. It was quite crazy but I enjoyed every minute. There’s wine here in my house from every part of the country. Not a bad way to tour.
Let me know if you see my guitar. Ouch, it hurts.

Sharleen Spiteri: Lily Allen Says What A Lot Of People Think
Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri tells The Sun she’s a big fan of Lily Allen’s outspokenness, a trait she shares with the ‘Smile’ singer. “I think Lily’s great,” the 42-year-old told Tim Nixon. “When people wage war on somebody and that person retorts to it, they’re a bit like, ‘What are you having a go at me for?’ Lily’s like, ‘Well, because you said this.’ I think Lily’s very aware of what she’s saying and what she’s doing. I can see where Lily’s coming from. I read a lot of what she says and piss myself laughing – she says a lot of what people think. At the end of the day she’s made two great albums, and as long as she’s making great records she can say what she wants. All power to her.”
