once upon a time, my friend and I talked about someday tracking you down and asking you to be our best friend. Then we found out that you were dead. Its funny how you sometimes think someone is alive when they are really dead. And sometimes you think they are dead when they are really alive. For instance, once upon a time, when I first started listening to Tom Waits, I was under the impression that he was dead. But he was not. Yes, life is funny. RIP Allan Ginsberg... Your homo-erotic, drug induced memories left behind will forever touch us.
