Bad News but Not Unexpected

And I do feel a sense of loss, as confusing as that may be for a reader of only one of his books and less than a handful of his columns.

Eh, it's natural. I was worried for days when Stephen King got hit by that truck and I cried when Dimebag was killed. You can connect enough with a person's work to feel a sense of loss when they are gone. In a way, that is what an artist of any kind's contribution is to the world. What is the sense of writing anything if someone does not connect to it or learn from it? At any rate, I'm sorry to everyone who felt a connection to him. It's a damn shame.

Thank you for saying these words. Shell says what I would, if I were standard issue. I have no loss, for Hitch is where he always was. Heart and mind.

Hitch was quality fucking human being. Doesn't seem to be much of that going around, but I'm going to maintain PMA.
