He touched so many of us because he didn't land. He was a lightning bolt that struck us all because we all are so tired of the this life. A pain unique to us as we inherit the remnants of our great world from our boomer fathers. Wages are impossible to live by, our lands flooded with outsiders to maximize profits for shareholders, a disgusting shallow bread & circus culture, sexual liberation that makes it impossible to find a good wife...

All of us flirt with death in our minds. All of us dream of flying high, feeling alive and free for just one moment, and wrestling control of our lives from the grasp of this unsightly beast of a world.

He did it.

RIP Rich
