HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

This is very sad to hear.  He had a style of his own (musically speaking) and will be missed.

I'll will forever remember Michael Madsen going out to the car to get a can of gasoline to that song. Quentin Tarantino always manages to have great soundtracks to his movies.
