Last weekend we played a memorial show for the drummer of No Fraud that died from the cancer. A nice fella, supposedly (I know we had met… but did not know well). It’s so weird seeing these stories play out with acquaintances on fb.
‘Got tough news today, everyone. But I’m gonna fight!’
*months of positive posting*
Then, out of the blue, the sudden tsunami of ‘rip’ posts.
I’ve had this happen several times. It’s surreal, eerie, and depressing. The experience has a movie watching quality to it… where you kind of start following the character through posts. And then the kick in the nuts ending. But it’s disturbing because it’s 100% real.
Anyone else have similar experiences with social media?
Anyway, fuck off.
