Among the world’s least surprising headlines this morning…

Quiet Riot Singer’s Death Ruled Overdose

Coroner’s Report: DuBrow’s Death From Cocaine Intoxication

Not that very stable and centered guy who wore ratty hair extentions for twenty five years and was quite the philosopher, with such pithy pronouncements as “nothing exceeds like excess.”

I’d like to add to his list of wit and wisdom lyrics like “we’ll get wild, wild, wild,” and “Ma ma mama weer all crazee now,” but of course their two hits were both covers. I suppose there’s something to be said that he chose those songs, but, ah well.

Kevin, you were 52, still singing that damn song and twirling that stripey mic stand. I guess I can understand the ‘drug/escape’ thing after all.

Originally from the Northeast, I fell in love with this fantastically bizarre place in 1993, eventually researching and writing about its history, finally leaving a boring life of stability in 2002 to live here full time. Previously a responsible adult working in finance and computer programing, now I write, take photos, gambol in the garden, and freelance as a civic booster.

It's a pretty amazing tradeoff and I hope you decide to hang out with all of us for a while.
