Micke 1977-2012

Yesterday was the anniversary of Micke’s death.

I’m having a hard time formulating an official statement here, but I guess I will start with thanking everyone who remembered and reached out to me. I was deeply touched. It meant a lot. And, painful as it is, it does help.

Somehow I made it through an entire year without Micke. It still feels like an impossibility.

Micke’s bandmate Jon Ammon created a painting of Micke based upon a lyric to an as-yet unpublished song that I attempted to sing at Micke's funeral. It reached me a day late, but it was very kind of him, considering I haven’t been very kind to Jon in recent years. And Jon, I don’t blame you as much as I blame myself. But that doesn’t absolve you of guilt, either. Anyway, thank you for the gesture.
