Irene Cara

This is the absolute worst part of being a publicist. I can't believe I've had to write this, let alone release the news. Please share your thoughts and memories of Irene. I'll be reading each and every one of them and know she'll be smiling from Heaven. She adored her fans. - JM pic.twitter.com/TsC5BwZ3fh

red letter media just did a tribute to him last night or so, because his wife had posted that he was on his last legs and could use some positive thoughts.

Uh, seeing preliminary reports that Christine McVie has passed away.

― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 30 November 2022 19:32 (three years ago)

Hadn’t seen him since I left Montreal seven years ago, but we stayed in touch. He and his partner were wonderfully bawdy dinner guests. The last time I saw him he gave me a copy of Kaddish.
