absolutely beyond fucking devastated to hear @[email protected] is gone. the world is poorer for it. i met steve 25+ years ago, after virtually memorizing "skeleton key" (& regularly reading his hotwired column) just after i graduated high school & he became a very real mentor & even better friend. my partner says she can always tell when i've been on a call with steve because i always get off the phone happy. today's deadcast episode leads with some of our last real conversation, from 2 weeks ago.
