He asked him how come he didn't sound like that on The Letter.....Alex told him he had been partying and smoking and drinking etc late the night before they recorded and they went and recorded it and he was all raspy, and the band decided they liked it and wah-lah, a hit record.

Arturo, the only captive polar bear in Argentina, died of complications from old age on July 3 at the Mendoza Zoological Park. He was 30 years old. Known as one of the world's saddest animals, Arturo lived in conditions that animal advocates said made him go "insane." He often exhibited stereotypic behaviors, repetitive movements that arise from the stress of captivity. In the last few years, hundreds of thousands of people signed petitions calling for Arturo's rescue from his concrete pit in the arid South American climate, which can reach temperatures as high as 100 degrees in the summer. Don't cry for Arturo, Argentina. SC
