Lemmy legit was one of those days that's hard to explain for me. I was out in Orlando applying to anywhere and everywhere when I heard about it on NPR. But hearing the story of those closest to him, he went out just the way he wanted, spinning a slots game and hopped up on speed. I actually watched "air heads" that night cause of Brendan Frasier's line about him.

I still felt emptyish for a few days after.
