RIP Robin Williams

[Mr. Sunshine]

Zevon's last album is so ****ing good, and so incredibly sad.

The second-most criminally underrated songwriter. Both are long gone.

I'm terrified to ask who you rank as number one.

Why? No one has better musical taste than I do.

I hoping you're thinking of someone like Buddy Holly, but I doubt you are.

No, that would make me a music simpleton.

I like his stuff, but don't know a ton of it, which would support your claim that he's underrated.

There's a Chicago based cover band that plays Martyr's on a regular basis:

TMZ reports Williams had Lewy Body Dementia, which triggered hallucinations.

Lewy Body is a tough one. A slow, painful wasting away with no cure. Doctors say it was the leading factor in Williams killing himself. Certainly even a person of sound mind can feel hopeless in that situation.

Yeah, I was glad to hear he didn't have alcohol or drugs in his system when he did it. Not that suicide is ever easy to understand, but this does make it somewhat easier to see what he was going through and what he was facing.
