Saying goodbye to another idol, another beacon, another human being who left this world too soon & who left an irremovable mark and sheen on humanity. Not sure where I read something similar to this: but saying that he is from another planet, that he was too good for us, misses the mark by a lot – […]
Sometimes it seems like we’re always posting about those of us who’ve left us, but it’s important to us to give them whatever little space we can here, because they make up so much of who we are and what influences us. With that said, last night we lost a true gem — Little Jimmy […]
Such a heavy heart over the passing of Lou Reed — Lau was raised listening to him and the Velvet Underground and his songs are on constant rotation at Recspec HQ.
