Do you think he believed in reincarnation? You know . . . "will I go 'round in circles?"

Come on, I can't have been the only one thinking that.

A true monster. RIP, Billy P!

I was actually going to suggest that his funeral procession should go 'round in circles...for at least several laps around the cemetary.

Apparently, his numerous session appearances did not generate enough royalties to provide his family with financial stability after his passing, as evidenced by the fact that his will simply read, "Nothing from nothing leaves nothing."

Shit, just saw this in Rolling Stone---I guess I was out of town when this hit the news a couple weeks ago.

That clavinet in "Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" is one of the coolest things ever in any song.

RIP.
