Ed Roth died of a heart attack Wednesday the 4th.
He will be missed.
It's hard buisness to hear because the guy was
larger then life and such a personality. Saying
words wrong and not giving a shit, screwing
around and joking about stuff that most people
wouldn't joke about... I really liked Ed, and
those of you around here know I don't like many
people. Despite the guys cult status and
celebrity-dom he never once lost what the new
strain of low-brow wannabe's loose the first
painting out... a sense of humor. I'm not saying
he couldn't be an asshole... he just didn't make
a lifestyle of it like some people around here.
He was a real person to me, not many of those
around town still.
Anyway the most ironic detail is if you stand
Robt. Williams and Ed Roth up next to each other
and ask yourself on appearance alone which will
be the first to kick the bucket the easy choice
of course would be Robert because he already
looks like a corpse.
