Last week, the great musician Matthew Sweet suffered a stroke while on tour. Thankfully he will recover, but it will be a long hard road. A GoFundMe has been started to help raise money to cover the insane cost of the work he will have to go through.

If you have a few bucks, please kick in to help him on the road to recovery.
