Dead last week....

Snooks Eaglin - In a tan suit and his trademark sunglasses, the late Snooks Eaglin lay in a casket near the Howlin' Wolf stage Friday morning. It was the Warehouse District nightclub's first funeral. "We've had people laid out here before," noted Howlin' Wolf owner Howie Kaplan, "but they were still breathing." Given the deceased's pedigree, the venue was appropriate.
