what happened in mtk is disgusting & has no place in our community. ๐ for my Jewish friends & business owners living in fear and having to see this. there are no words.

RIP, mick. i had the honor of working with @therealmickrock on the launch of his David Bowie book in the early 2000s. he gifted me this print-dude 72-for my work well before I had 3 dudes of my own. he said the image suited me-little did we know how much. what a privilege to have known & adored this wild, fun loving, kind, brilliant man-his photos are proof rock & roll will never die. Rock in Peace, Mick. forever grateful for introducing us @feralcatpro . #mickrock #rockandrollwillneverdie โก๏ธ๐โก๏ธ
today I mourn the death of my oldest brother. I don't want condolences-I want a gentler world. He was not "weird" or "rain man" or "quirky" or "off"-he was a schizophrenic. he was a Marine Corps Vet, a college grad, funny, brilliant, talented, artistic, and tolerant of a world where people who don't know your story can be cruel & unkind. my wish is that we are more patient, less judgmental, & kinder to others-just bc someone looks "normal" does not mean s/he is not battling something. I was never embarrassed of him-I was proud of his small victories & grateful for learning Hendrix, the Beatles, & most of all empathy from him. thank you to my friends who were kind & inclusive, the police for always being gentle when he was unmedicated, & for the hundreds of strangers who looked out for him over the years. #mentalillness is real-we need to take care of each other. I know you brought those surprise waves & beautiful sunset last night, big bro. I will toss back some Budweisers & crank up some 70s rock & roll today for you. #nami #family #bekind
