I don't blame you for finally giving up & in, I get it. But I'm still fucking pissed you did. One of my deepest regrets to this day is the fact that in all my years of living in Colorado & knowing you were just 3 hrs away, I never drove up to Woody Creek to meet you. For our eyes to have locked, even for a moment, across the crowded room @ the Woody Creek Tavern or the Jerome, for you to have given me that knowing nod, would have been the greatest acknowledgement from someone I so deeply admired since I was 15 yrs old. You are, and always will be, not just to me but for so many others, a true unsung American hero. The voice of our collective insanity screaming into the gale of the even bigger insanity in this country & this world - politics & "government". You dared tell it like it is, not how we wanted it to be. Yes, one of the larger voices of the underdog, John Q Public, has been silenced now but never forgotten. Our starboard side took a very heavy hit that cold February night of 2005, after football season was over, a very heavy hit indeed. I fear we are doomed. Heaven or Hell, stupid shit like that, that's what they wrote about when you left. So............um, yeah. How's the weather there? Eli Hunter, 2/22/11
