A Tribute to Richard O'Brien

Bringing Us Other Worlds 1948 – 2007

Somewhere over the rainbow…

If Terminal Art happens, and I certainly hope it does, I think we’ll have to put a subtle rainbow in there somewhere….this was the song I heard just after hearing of Richard’s dying, from one of the excellent subway violin players… I started crying, public-be-damned…. then to have Mary Margaret choose that very same song….it was spooky!

I also wished I had said at the funeral, and I had meant to, but forgot, what a lesson he was to all of us about being disabled…. if there was any pity about his condition, he would stop it by saying “It’s better than the alternative, Barb…” He was more active recently than he had ever been, I felt…out and about, at different things…
