a hero has died

And I am crestfallen.
You are the universe now, Aaron, and that peace is deserved.

In case you have no feeling, one way or the other, about this loss, Aaron Russo also brought us bikini underwear and Led Zepellin, besides being a very active and outspoken advocate for the Constitution and for truth wherever it can be found. The fact that he willingly gave up his social status, said no to a direct overture from the tyranny, and repeatedly ignored his own safety and his own gain precisely to live up to the truths we once held to be self-evident makes him unforgettable in my book.
