RIP. I was just the other day listening to a 50s playlist that included some of his stuff.

I used to have an 8-Track tape that I bought at a gas station of Little Richard with Jimi Hendrix as his guitar player. Wish I still had a recording of that low quality bootleg audio...😢
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

I always admired his energy.
I hope he wasn't in pain or scared
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
