I know not a lot of people will recognize the importance of this (or care) but Robert Quine committed suicide on June 5th via heroin overdose. It looks right now that it was not accidental.
Quine was a great guitarist who played with dozens of people including Matthew Sweet, Tom Waits and the Velvet Underground. He was even chosen one of Rolling Stone's 100 most important guitarists earlier this year. Apparently, Quine had been having difficulty handling the sudden death of his wife last year.
He will be missed and his influence never forgotten.
