    "comment": "Will Cullen Hart, a founding member of the musical collective Elephant 6 along with bands Olivia Tremor Control and Circulatory System, died, age 53.\n\nThe musician died on Friday (November 29) from natural causes, as confirmed in a Facebook post from the Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider. His death coincided with the release date of two new Olivia Tremor Control singles ‘Garden Of Light’ and ‘The Same Place’, their first new music in 13 years.\n\nHe was born on June 14, 1971 in Ruston, Louisiana. His parents, both interior designers, divorced and moved around the country, leading Hart to spend parts of his childhood in Alabama, Colorado, and Texas before returning to Ruston in ninth grade. Among his friends there were future Elephant 6 collaborators Bill Doss, Jeff Mangum (later of Neutral Milk Hotel)  and Robert Schneider. \n\nSchneider wrote, \n\n“Will … was energetic, sweet, tender, earnest, alternately totally chill and totally explosive. Will suffered from multiple sclerosis for almost two decades, which gradually reduced his mobility, his ability to play guitar, and his ability to tour – but he kept up his productivity…and lived life in a state of heightened creativity. He was infinitely loved by me, and by his bandmates and the Elephant 6 and Athens communities. Today is a day of victory for W. Cullen Hart – his last day represented a triumph. Today is the day that Will’s perseverance, his sincerity, his struggle with MS, and his devotion to Bill and their common vision, bears fruit.”",
