Sorry for your loss.

My take on rock band drummers: everybody loves them.

Great story!

Love how the focus subtly shifted back and forth.

But was he habitually late?

When we were together, he frequently was. I don’t know if he was always late with everybody, or if I was just lucky, but I remember having more than one argument over it.

If this little relationship is going to work out, he’s going to get a fixed zipper and never wear lime green again.

I’m so sad that he’s gone. I knew it was coming, but it was still so unexpected at the same time. I wish things had turned out differently.

In a world where many people with musical aspirations end up in offices, retail, or factory work, it’s great that your friend spent his life doing what he loved until the end. I am sorry for your loss, but I hope good memories help you carry on.

A good drummer can be forgiven for just about anything. May the Reverend RIP, and his memory live on in the stories you tell. That's the best any of us can really hope for when we've moved beyond the Veil.

We'll have stories about him forever. And I'm sure German Shock Therapy fans do to.
