Sad news. What a talented guy. His legacy will live on as an artist, I'm sure. It definitely will as a Big Boys founder & member. I will never forget seeing them with Minor Threat in Washington, D.C. R.I.P.

shit! shit! Fuck! I have the distinct memory of watching Randy change in and out and in and out of costumes at Room 710 whilst MCing Perverted Son Records' SXSW showcase. Such a great guy...

Damn, this really sucks. Biscuit was a really cool guy. I had the distinct pleasure of getting drunk with him (well, truthfully, near him, not actually with him) several times back in the early 80s. He seemed to be omnipresent in the Austin scene back then, usually either near (or on) the keg or the stage. I particulary remember one perfect summer afternoon when Biscuit found out that Divine was coming to town. He managed to get a local card shop to donate a few kegs for an "autograph party" just off the drag near the taco shack. I spent several hours drinking free beer and listening to fasinating stories and great music in the hot Texas sun.
