another thought- perhaps hundreds of millions of humans would have fainted just from shaking his hand, yet he died a very lonely person, is what it's sounding like. hmm

who knows if he really molested kids, unfortunately we don't know, if he did that would make it hard to say anything good about him. but he sure lived like a very kind, angelic person (except for blowing tons of money on ridiculous things nobody needs, w/ the exception of beatles records). which is a brave and tough thing to be in this society of ours that often looks up to and celebrates asshole personalities

Cobain... the 'Electric Fetus' record store/head shop in MPLS.

MJ... at work. Really wasn't too worked up about any of them.

Losing Stevie Ray, and especially Jerry, those were painful.

NOW HEAR THIS. HE WAS A GOOD ENTERTAINER WITH A GREAT HEART (NOT LITERALY) BUT HE DID A LOT OF STUFF FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AND INSTEAD OF HEARING WHAT A GREAT ENTERTAINER WE LOST I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ALL THE OTHER STUFF HE DID ALSO.

me: "well, one day you will, and i want you to remember this moment. look around the room, remember everything you can. you'll talk about this one day."

Things to look for immediately:

-universal health care

Any other guesses?

"Dude, can I bum some Tylenol? But, like, I'm only going to take one because I don't want to pull a Heath Ledger and OD."
