Man, I'm terribly bummed. Robert Quine was my favorite guitarist. Consistently good and one of the greatest sidemen ever. "Blank Generation" and "the Blue Mask" are two of my favorite albums. Guess now I'll finally get around to picking up Painted Desert. Damn. A shock, for sure. I was hoping he'd be able to still work after his wife's death--- according to a couple people it was a suicide. We've lost a great musician. - Gene
