Yeah, what a shocker when I opened my news feed. I suppose Orson finally recalled him from his mission here.
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

Re: Goodbye, Robin Williams
First celeb-type in a while I've been genuinely saddened by. I know he wasn't actually a poetry teacher or philanthropic doctor or Peter Pan, but he inhabited the roles so completely, convincingly.

Re: Goodbye, Robin Williams
Amazing interview from a few years back that is almost uncomfortably personal and candid.
Having lost a few people recently to depression / drugs / suicide, this one really resonates.

Re: Goodbye, Robin Williams
I was startled by the depth of my reaction to the news. I realize now that he had been a part of my life since childhood, when I loved him as Mork and listened to his album 'Reality, what a concept' so many times. I was struggling with my identity as a male human who was not good at being tough or good at sports, and he provided me with a model for someone who was interesting and vital in a way that didn't draw on machismo. I knew I would never have his manic energy (who the hell does) but I was drawn to his use of humor, and the potency of the insight and unpredictability that it projected. Of course there was always a seriousness and a sadness visible right there too, and in that regard his passing comes as a sad surprise, but not some kind of shocking impossibility. It is and was of a piece with him. Farewell you wonderful crazy man.

Re: Goodbye, Robin Williams
I'd see him on occasion at the cool japanese toy store on Clement Street out in the avenues while he was living in the Lake District. I think he was always a big kid inside. I don't think it was a mystery to anyone that Mr. Williams used his humor to fight off demons (as most good comedians do). I know there is a general sadness throughout SF and the world. I guess we feel "one of our own" is gone and in a manner all too common out here. Godspeed Mr. Williams.

This makes me feel really, really sad. It just casts a pall over everything, the same everything which has been mostly in shadow for a while anyway. Fuck this.
