Have to ask - any more info. to provide on the ashes being thrown onstage at the Brooklyn second show? Unreal - "his pals took his ashes, wrapped them in a pair of underwear and tossed them up on stage to be with Mike Patton and crew." Any clue before it popped up online? Where are they now? Thoughts? Feelings?

my answer

I had no clue this happened until the texts starting coming in a few days later. I didn’t see it happen. Apparently I was focused on playing the bass. I think it’s kind of weird. I mean, I didn’t know the guy or his friends and, to each their own, of course. But I might have not wanted my ashes trampled on by boots and then swept into a garbage can with a bunch of filthy plastic cups. That’s just me though. Maybe for them it was the perfect thing to do, and for that I’m happy that we were somehow part of that plan. There is symbolism in that that I appreciate. There might be some hygienic or even legal issues surrounding this topic but we’ve got worse problems now.
