[quote=Anonymous]I liked him. He was deeply troubled, flawed, and romantic and wayward. I didn’t know about the cheating thing, but I can see it.. he was hard and rough, but tender and wide eyed. To me, that was his appeal.

He never tried to be, in many ways. He represented the punk era to me.. the Johnny Rottens and Sid Viciouses, the men who are so angry and lovely. The immense respect for the bigger things, the impatience for the inconsequential minutiae of “proper life”. Tolerance for the great street food of some back corner, but disdain for the pomp and fluff of office people like PP mentioned - I get it. A searcher’s spirit whi never feels like they belong. Walk into almost any “anonymous” meeting around the world, and you’ve got 50 of those in one room.

He was a jerk at times, but he also never hid it or pretended otherwise, and that, I appreciate. He was always reaching, learning, wandering, and growing. He shared and thirsted and didn’t hold back. And that, I appreciate. [/quote]
