God damn, that was a good read.

Between your perspective and Chris Cornell's vocals (any Temple of the Dog fans out there?), you laid a couple of devastating haymakers on my cry-guy bits. Now I gotta find a new hiding place for them. Thanks, you buttmunch. ;)

I didn't have near the reaction you did when I head of Ditko's passing. The man's a comic book legend, but I was always more of a DC kid. Any time our hobby loses an icon though, it's a tragedy. I could have copy/pasted your feelings fourteen years ago when I heard the news Christopher Reeve had died. Ten days before my birthday.

That was a shitty October.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Your wife is amazing, Foo Fighters are amazing, Ditko was amazing. You don't get to create the "Amazing" Spider-Man by being mundane yourself, that's for sure. Best wishes to you.

It's the curse of growing up. There go our heroes.

Watch them as they go.
