Yesterday around 4 p.m. word came in on the newswire that there was a "motorcycle down" on, or just before, the Williamsburg Bridge—towards the Manhattan side. Shortly after an update came in saying the accident was fatal. There aren't many details beyond those available yet, but eyewitnesses say the motorcycle was actually a Vespa, and it was hit (and totaled) by a black car. The Vespa driver is the one who died, and URB Magazine reports it was deejay Josh Link (friends are confirming on Twitter). Many witnessed the scene, which has been described as bloody, and one even posted their thoughts on Craigslist, noting that late last night there were burning candles where the crash happened. UPDATE: It has been confirmed that Josh Link was the victim in this sad accident, and services will be held on Long Island tomorrow.

You may know Pete Fornatale from his voice on WFUV, but after reading Back to the Garden: The Story of Woodstock, you'll know him as your personal time machine back to 1969. His book contains plenty of stories from the weekend, as well as original interviews with The Who’s Roger Daltry, Joan Baez, David Crosby, Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, organizers, and fans. Tonight you can get a combination of the voice and the stories, as he'll be reading at Borders in Columbus Circle (7 p.m.); and recently he told us a little bit about the good ol' days... and how they'll never happen again, no matter how many anniversary concerts are planned.

Was (the now closed) West Village lesbian mainstay Rubyfruit butch-slapped by Lindsay Lohan's love Samantha Ronson? The NY Post reports that the struggling bar/restaurant asked the deejay to play a benefit, but allegedly she refused and her management informed the establishment that "she doesn't do those kind of venues." The club's resident deejay told the paper that, "It's really like betraying her sisters. It just doesn't make sense." Meanwhile, Ronson's spokesperson maintains that she was never even contacted by Rubyfruit...maybe this is their way of drawing attention to their new bar, the RF Lounge (opening in November!)?
