WOW that is good

Wow, seriously? This is shit news.

he probably regretted that one [citation needed]

i've been pretty bummed about this all weekend and been finding the newer stuff more touching to listen to for some reason. it just seemed like he'd found a new path, musically at least.

i saw him play a couple of times and met him briefly in '07. he smelt of whisky at 11am and signed my "the revolution..." vinyl and "the vulture & nigger factory" book. even more treasured possessions now.

RIP

rip

Man... I've listened to the Revolution Will Not Be Televised at least once a month for over a year. It's my standard work-music.

After we7'ing GSH this week I'll make sure to check out his latest album and I've been put onto a lot more poetic soul.

Really, RIP.

most of them links above are totally kaputt..
