Guy Picciotto of Fugazi on Vic Chesnutt


"I talked to him every day. There were some very hard conversations and then we'd be laughing our asses off. That was Vic. He had a very different balance between light and dark and life and death than many people do. Throughout his life, even when he was a kid, he had experiences up to the edge of death his whole life. And he had experiences his whole life, and I'm not talking pathologically, of really intense highs and really intense lows. And he lived in those moments very, very deeply. And he processed them very artistically, in a way, to have been privileged to have been next to him, to see some of that, is one of the great pleasures of my life."

What an absolutely beautiful thing to say about someone.
