for days now the name JOE BRUMAN, in my way big (for me) black scribble with about 50 circles around it, has been staring back at me from the notepad where i leave largly inelegibile notes and phone numbers and things that must be done tomorrow. i usually can cross off something (if i can ever read it after having written it!) by transfering it to a typed sheet where the information belongs or by finally accomplishing that task...but what to do about Joe Bruman?? and what to say?? i knew him only thru his writings here on this listserv and our occasional but always one-sided headbutting, you see, i know to pick my battles and i soon learned that Joe was brilliant and always right. even if i was right...Joe was more correct-hands down! so how could i ever hope to write an epitath for this amazing, avant-guard, luminous and quirky gentleman? thank you, Linda Herman (you never fail, do you girlfriend??) for finding and printing such a wonderful, complete and no-holds barred love song written by someone infinitely more qualified and so very much deserved to this much admired and hugely missed man. thank you, also, Murray for your rememberances of him. i am in awe of the life he lived and the style with which he lived it. - Joan E.
