Yeah, that one hurts.
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about him too.

Also, a few years ago, we went to an exhibition of his father's work.
He was a famous architect who did some amazing stuff.
His most famous design was for the Cologne-Bonn airport.
Strangely, it was that very same airport that Brian Eno was in
when he came up with his idea of Music For Airports.
Maybe it was a boring airport in those days, but every time
I've been there, it's been quite exciting and easy to navigate.
Part of that album was recorded in Cologne as well.

Another of my all-time favorites. Glad I got to see him perform a couple of times while he was still able to give it his all.

"Tutti Frutti" is the greatest song ever written about anal sex.

We owe him a lot. So much of the music we love comes from his artistic expression and so much of the freedom we enjoy comes from the queer visibility he put out in the open so early on.
