Yeah, it's kinda sad, but interesting in a kind of "Residents" way.
On a favorite forum, I brought this thing up about his birth-death dates
being stuck on his Bandcamp pages and a guy there wrote him to find out what's up.
The answered email had him saying in a kind of whimsical manner that he has
"something in my brain that will last to a brief end ... Brains go down ..."
and that the doctor has him on drugs ... and other stuff about
"reducing a lot of old Bandcamp stuff. If you need titles grab now..." and
sending a batch of other things to Klanggalerie for them to sort thru, and on, and on...
In an interview last year, he only mentioned not being able to tour anymore
because of severe arthritis and general older-age wear-and-tear, but I have to think
that things have gotten worse. I'm guessing that he's in hospice.
