... it brings on many changes...
Just found out about the sad fate of Spalding Gray this weekend. Though he was missing and it was presumed that he had taken his life, there was that dim hope that he'd just wandered off and gone on some adventure that would surely sound rational once he'd gotten back and written a funny/poignant monologue about it.
Sadder knowing that he'd struggled with depression/suicidal tendencies early on in his life, and that it would revisit him later. You would hope that once a person is out of those woods, they're out...
I enjoyed his work -- what I've seen of it. It is a shame. Now he can hang out with Andre the Giant, Raul Julia and Andy Kaufman...
