Al was one of the best friends i ever had. he deserves cover page plus a 12 fucking page spread of his wonder and wise ways. he is legend amongst us, now he is legend above us.

What a disgracefully one-dimensional portrayal of a complex man who was a dear friend to so many. He was polarizing, without a doubt, but he deserves a better last word than whatever ramblings he happened to post on facebook mere hours before an unexpected death. This is exactly the kind of snap-judgement, gotta-be-the-first-to-say-it, gossipy bullshit we all hate about 24 hour news. I am severely disappointed.
On a lighter note, I saw my friend a few hours before his passing, and his spirits were far from the impression given by abysmally dark quotation above. As usual, made me laugh and encouraged my work. I will miss him greatly.

A rather pat memoriam for such a complicated man.

I crossed swords with the man on facebook for years. He respected those who believed in truth, freedom and well-told lies, but never human nature.

Al was always kind and supportive of me and my writing / poetry. He was one of the least fake people I’ve ever known. He was balls-out insane in the most wonderful way. I wish I had spent more time with him. I’m going to miss him a lot.
