idk they all suck but colin allred beating julie johnson because of one weirdly targeted tx tribune story that he leveraged into millions of dollars in advertising is a lot

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

oh god man. there wasn’t a better, more important musician still around. rest in peace
