My best friend & bandmate in several bands starting in 1978... [View all]

...has just passed away.

His name was Brad Frost, and he was a DU member called "benchley."

He didn't post much here - if ever - but he was a staunch Democrat/Progressive/Trump Resister.

He was a great visual artist/animator/cartoonist/song writer/guitar player and he was my best friend for over 40 years.

Here are some links to stuff we did together:

Brad did all of the animation on DP for Pot.

On 72 Virgins he sang lead vocal and played e-bow guitar.

Brad wrote the song, sang and played guitar on Jenna.

All of the above are from the 2008 Benedict Arnold & The Traitors' "Star Spangled Bummer" CD.

Brad did the cover art below for my band Green Sparkle Frog's 2012 CD "Die Happy & Other Songs About Life"

Die Happy, my friend.
