In 1991 I had the rolling stone cover in my locker. I had the spin magazine pictures on the wall of my room. I was a freshman in high school. Paul Reubens gave me so much laughter and taught me to own my nerdier tendencies, of which there were and are plenty of. So grateful we had the opportunity to watch him speak in LA after a screening of the big adventure, a few years ago, right before the world broke. Sinead was my first pinup teenage crush and “i do not want what i have not got “ was in constant rotation. Every song is a banger. She was punk as fuck. I still remember watching her rip up the pope on SNL and saying “fuck yes.” It has been a dark, sad week for us aging gen x types. Drinking whiskey in memoriam.

First Sinead and now Paul Ruebens?

1-2 punch, my GenX friends.

When Paul Reubens was arrested, the Progressive Student Union at George Washington U. held an event to talk about sexual health, handed out condoms, and had some pretty great discussions about sex and shame at our table in the student center. Good times. #RIPeewee
Remembering that Pee Wee was in a couple Cheech y Chong films back in the day! #peeweeherman #peewee #ripeewee https://youtu.be/CGqXf-x59Vo

#RIPPeeWeeHerman May his memory be a blessing. #FuckCancer #RIPeeWee

Dang. Paul Reubens died of cancer. That sucks. Pee Wee's Playhouse was a favorite show of mine as a kid and I loved the Pee Wee movies. He was a wonderful comedian. He will be missed.
