Kiyoshiro now and also one of my absolute favorites (the unmatched JG Ballard) peacing out in the last few weeks has been a bummer.Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-90891915932036071822009-05-05T19:21:00.000-07:002009-05-05T19:21:00.000-07:00Kiyoshiro's death was a big deal for a lot of peop...Kiyoshiro's death was a big deal for a lot of people. I went to a friend's house the next day where we took turns lighting incense in front of a shrine she had built for him. He was her inspiration to start a band and become a singer, and I think that was probably true for a lot of people. <br /><br />Last night another pal and I sang the RC Succession song "Transistor Radio" in his memory. In addition to being a great musician, he was one of the few rock stars who would speak his mind about politics and didn't care about getting banned from the airwaves. He once said "people who say that rock shouldn't have a message don't understand anything about rock and roll."Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196831971495520868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-79938810518412314012009-05-05T15:15:00.000-07:002009-05-05T15:15:00.000-07:00It is nice to see people who dig Kiyoshiro.

He was a special and important person, gracious, kind, shy, daring....<br />I will miss him very much. It has been a sad few days...<br />-Havergill MilkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-76115096266523080142009-05-05T08:45:00.000-07:002009-05-05T08:45:00.000-07:00@Jeremy, @Kate: Thanks for visiting and the nice c...@Jeremy, @Kate: Thanks for visiting and the nice comments. I probably wouldn't have caught the 1 or 2 small English articles about Kiyoshiro myself, but my buddy living in Tokyo txt'd me the sad news. I know that in Japan it's been huge news and lots of folks are honoring the man's rad life.<br /><br />:)Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-28485582699941374672009-05-05T01:28:00.000-07:002009-05-05T01:28:00.000-07:00I found your blog by googling "Kiyoshiro memorial"...I found your blog by googling "Kiyoshiro memorial" -- I found out yesterday he had died and I am surprised how sad I feel about it.
