Oh man. The only thing I remember from my 21st birthday was meeting him in a lesbian bar in the West Village. He was in full Poindexter mode, and was the only gentleman allowed in the place. Round midnight we were out on the sidewalk arm in arm howling at the moon.

Not the most important work he did, but his Mansion of Fun show was the best thing on Sirius. An absolute encyclopedia of undiscovered, lost and beautiful music.
