    I had a friend pass away this past weekend. A brilliant writer and tremendous individual who was so fucking kind and generous and knew everything from the canon to the cereal box. A day with him was always the best day. Awhile back Thurston Moore asked his wife if Sonic Youth could title a song after one of her books.…
