Topic: An Old Fart's Memories And Tears

[fporretto]

I’ve known many kinds of sorrow and pain. The aggregate has hardened me quite a lot. These days it takes something very painful, something well to the right of the axis of the bell curve of human tragedy, to bring me to tears.

I’ve just learned that Michael Brown, the presiding genius of The Left Banke, passed away yesterday at the age of 65.

That did it.

Rest in peace, Mike. If there’s any justice in the world, you’re with her now, or will be soon.

Walk Away Renee is part of my history.  Never paid attention to who made it, but, if this Michael Brown was a good man, and even if not, then RIP.
