Thanks for starting the thread. He was a gifted writer and a truly decent guy, by all accounts. A crushing loss, as the highest levels of GD world are recognizing: https://twitter.com/BobWeir/status/1379826738767650820
I began reading and following his blog years ago. I found him laugh out loud funny at times and he really was a gifted writer. I knew his name as he was unintentionally outed on Tales From the Golden Road Sirius radio show around the time of the Fare Thee Well Shows when he was on as a caller. He hadn't posted in a while and I feared that maybe things had taken a turn for the worse. Fuck. RIP ToTD.
Sorry to hear, so young. I read his blog from time to time. He had a running theme about Billy K and "Dick Punching". I never quite understood that one, though...
> a running theme about Billy K and "Dick Punching"
A rock ‘n’ roll band leader who claims he was beaten so severely he is unable to father children has filed a $10 million lawsuit against drummer William Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead.
Matthew Kelly, founder of the band Kingfish, contends in a civil damages case that Kreutzmann kicked him in the groin so severely that his sperm count decreased to the point where he is infertile.
He was a great writer and funny as f#$k- clearly loved the band, but never afraid to flick people's ears (band and crew) for a laugh. I'll miss the tales of Big-Dicked Sheila, Precarious Lee and all the rest...

Damn. Terrible to hear.
Damn. Terrible to hear. Cancer is a game of russian roulette that we all partake.
I always thought he was older, at least late 50's. Only 46. Damn.
"Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To" is and will always be, absolute gold.
Be at peace Rick.
