A Great One

Today, one of the greats exeunted for the last time, took his last curtain call, and left us for that great playhouse in the sky. How could I tell the rollercoaster cinderella story of Skeleton Warrior, the passion and the pain, the sex and the drugs and the necrophiliac nights, better than he could himself :

"It comes and goes in waves. The fame, the luck, the depression. I've been letting it push me around for years," his eyes gazed out to a lone surfer. "I think it's time I finally got up on that board and rode it, show that f--ker who's boss."

Tributes are appearing all over the web to this great and underappreciated artist. Ride on, you bony bastard!
