#today an old friend passed. #BobRivers the guy who did the #TwistedTunes songs, who was a DJ out of Seattle for years and had more fun living his life than anyone else I’ve known died after a long battle with esophageal cancer. Battle? More like arm wrestling to be fair because he knew there was no winning, but holding to a draw gave him time for his dozens of projects and hobbies.
Never thought the guy I’d get high with would get famous, felt kind of weird to be honest.

@CatDragon First I ever knew of him was when he stayed on top of a pole until the Baltimore Orioles won their first game in 1988, and they lost 22 in a row to start the season. I was lucky enough to live in the #Seattle area when he plied his trade there. His humor differed from my taste at times, but all in all he was a comic genius.
@Thumper1964 we were all convinced he was going to die waiting for Baltimore to win a game. Think he was awake for most of 158 hours.
He was over and above all else a good person.
Weird to thing it was oooohhhhh 50 years ago we’d be smoking on my folks back deck dreaming big.
