goodbye friend

dear friends,

sad pre-bed news tonight. old dirty bastard has died. his cover (duet with macy gracy) of don't go breakin my heart will be played many times over in memorium.

odb actually became vocabulary for me. i once struggled with telling a dear friend i thought he'd gone odb. i saw parallels in the fine line between insanity and genius, between homeless-schitzophrenic and rap star. how do you tell a friend that they've gone odb?

lesson: being odb means death far too young. so, hug the odb in your life.
