Was talking on the phone with an old friend last night, and found out that a mutual old friend from our wild days in the 80's was murdered in Laguna Beach in 2009. I never heard about it. Sad. It's making for a bummer of a day.
Morning, muchachos.
Sorry to hear about your friend Raz. morning.
Yeah. Real bummer. Hadn't seen the guy since my wedding in 1989. Sometime after that he apparently came out of the closet and moved to Laguna Beach. He was bludgeoned to death by a guy he'd had sex with the night before.
I never suspected the guy was gay, but back in the 80's, all of us looked gay anyway, especially those of us who were musicians. His place was the party joint after gigs. There was a lot of bad behavior, but some great jam sessions produced some great music. But for obvious reasons my wife didn't like that scene and preferred I came home after gigs. I never saw Damon again. Heard about him every so often. His murder made the news in California, but I'd never heard about it until last night.
