AOL.com: NEW YORK (AP) - Media columnist David Carr, who wrote the Media Equation column for The New York Times and penned a memoir about his fight with drug addiction, collapsed at his office and died on Thursday. He was 58.

I watched a little and listened to some more of his interview with the principle cast/crew of CITIZENFOUR, the Edward Snowden documentary (including Snowden himself via videolink to Moscow), streamed live last night from the TIMES, after a delay (which I suspect might have been the result in part, at least, of Carr pulling himself together, after a busy day and several days of discussing classwork, Bob Simon and that Williams clown). He looked, I noted, like death warmed over. I was too close to correct. That I first read his obits as I was working at my office at 11pm, with a broken if healing wrist and in a job I'll soon be laid off from, wasn't lost on me...any more than all the times his and my careers almost crossed paths. And he was 58. I should be doing more of what he has been doing, and perhaps he should've been doing a little less of it, just to give himself more time to rest and heal.
Well, principal cast/crew, anyway. I am tired, too. But not enough younger than 58.
