It's never good to wake up in the morning and check out what's happening in twitter world and seeing all these R.I.P's. But when its someone that's music meant so much to you through the years it adds another tinge of sadness. Through my college years he sound tracked some great nights and just recently when he released "I'm New Here" he once again became my artist of the moment, with this retrospective album to his drug addiction, ego and general hard times.
I was lucky enough to see him at Electric Picnic festival last summer, what a gig it was too, full of the funky grooves you would expect and the rasping voice that had weathered well through the years. I gig i will never forget.
Gone but never forgotten.
