'Goodbye, Kieran Turner ....the man whose mind was an endless rolodex of 60s/70s/80s popculture. Thank you for your friendship, wit, the laughs, your creativity and taking me along on your Jobriath A.D. / Wallflowers adventure....the latter of which you're STILL an a****e for tricking me into having a speaking role. May wherever you're going be an endless landscape of pinball machines and soundtracked by glamrock/disco/new wave music.'.
