Dear Editor, My best friend has died. His name was Tom Cottrill. He was a great, hilarious, and creative soul and one hell of a musician, making such sweet tunes on the keys. If anyone remembers the punk/New Wave band from the Eighties Skinned Knees, he was on the one album they released. He loved the Beatles. He gave me my nickname. He was funny. I love you, Major Tom. Peace be with you, my friend.
