Wow... I did a show for him when he was 16 in his old band MIJ (opened for Ezra Pound's last show, which went on to become Rainier Maria). Had work to do a few Wednesdays ago when he played here Someday Lounge. Never saw him once during his solo career, but I really took to his work. He was incredible at 15 - I mean, a bunch of us freshman at UW-Madison all knew of his band. When i heard his first KRS album, I was amazed at how captivating he was as a singer/songwriter.... That's just terrible news. He really will be missed.

Damn. That's fucking tragic.

Damn, I blew off going to his show the other day. Fucking sucks.
