RIP Daniel Johnston. A true inspiration. An unfiltered voice capable of communicating pure pathos and passion. My many happy memories of his music include discovering him with my friend Justin way back when. Thank you for your work, Mr. Johnston. We're better off for it.
Perhaps you’ve heard all the songs on Captain Beefheart’s “Trout Mask Replica” album. But have you heard them all simultaneously? Well, now you can! As my friend Bill says: “It saves so much time to listen to it this way. How convenient!”
The inspiration of Star Wars is one of the big reasons why I have the good fortune to do what I do these days, and Chewbacca has been along for the ride pretty much the whole time. By all accounts, Peter Mayhew was a kind and good-hearted man. Thank you, Mr. Mayhew, for all the joy you’ve brought us.
