God hates musicians apparently, because he recently took back Blowfly, a famous comedy singer who actually sang s ton of painfully unfunny songs.

It kinda seems like that when Lemmy died, a whole bunch of people maybe just felt that the world had become such a shitty place that it wasn’t worth the effort anymore.

I’ve been listening to Blowfly for almost my entire life, but tonight when I listen to _The Weird World of Blowfly_, it’s gonna be a memorial celebration instead of just a celebration. At least I can still look forward to the release of _77 Rusty Trombones_ next month.

RIP Mr. Reid.
