RIP Larry

[jon-nyc]

I think it’s just another aspect of his life online that he made up out of whole cloth.

That too is speculation, of course. But I think her non-existence is the most parsimonious explanation of the lack of mention in the obit.

[Jolly]

Can I say, I don't much care?

We are what we bring to the media.

I always assumed his wife was real. If she's not, it certainly puts a sadder note on his posts.

[Mik]

I'm not sure that us trying to dissect his life posthumously is really any better than Dewey dancing on his grave.

Actually, probably worse. At least Dwain Lee has his personal ax to grind.

You know, yup, you’re right.

Meh. Funeral was the 3rd.

Stay classy, y'hear?

Pretty clear Trumpification of Jon’s posts.

I don't think Sarah was a Larry creation though his relationship to her may have been enhanced without the benefit of recognition by the state. His passing with such rapidity could leave a bit of a mess for his relations. I hope he had a good lawyer do his planning for him.

Yep, Larry's service was over two days ago. Five days is long enough for this uncharacteristic sweetness and light. Time to get back to our customary malignant acrimony.

Seems more likely.

The kids names were Spyder, Wednesday, and Dagger? I remember his mention of Spyder many years ago...the kid is probably 15 by now?

Nor do I. In fact, Larry’s marriage to Sarah was very real. I have always maintained that marriage between two people is a state of mind that is expressed through the heart. They were undoubtedly husband and wife even if it was by common law. Nothing at all wrong with it.

Driving back home from BC earlier today the following came up on my iPod playlist in the truck. Immediately made me think of Larry:

Link to video

Am sure he’d appreciate it.

[Moonbat]

Just saw this. Condolences to his loved ones.

The Highwaymen is my favorite supergroup. Never saw them live though...

[Jolly]

Traveling Wilburys ain't bad.

Always wished The Million Dollar Quartet would have done an album.

@Jolly I like TW too, but the best part was Orbison by far. I think the Highwaymen were more evenly matched. When the weakest is Kris Kristofferson, that's a pretty impressive line up.
