Sigh...

[Rilchiam]

I just noticed that the current Rolling Stone has a tribute article on Aaliyah. “Sigh…” I said to Mr. Rilch. “Just three weeks ago, was it, you were one person hoping one friend was okay.”

Mr. Rilch has a friend who worked on Aaliyah’s last video. Mr. Rilch somehow convinced himself that Courtney had schmoozed his way onto the plane that went down. He didn’t, and he’s fine.

I feel very, very fortunate to be able to say that.

It does seem like the world has changed in some fundamental way, doesn’t it?

I was wondering today if things would ever go back to “normal”…

I remember “normal.” IIRC, it sucked. It’s the part of history that didn’t suck that was abnormal.
