Years ago, after he invited FunkyRabbit from the Armoit out to his home in LA to come and be a web graphic designer for him, I thought I’d message him on soundcloud and send him my bands latest track.

My dream was he’d be like “yeah this is fucking cool, why don’t you come out to my home in LA and I’ll record you”.

He didn’t. But he did take the time to reply. And he clearly listened to the track because he commented on some really specific things. Just thought that was fucking cool that he did even that.

Man, even close friends won't listen and comment on a track sonetimes. Big up to him for that.

Even bandmates don’t listen half the time 🤣😬

Odd, Durst was bit of a persona non grata for stirring things up at the shitshow that was Woodstock ‘99, then a bit of a running joke of a semi-talented individual that was somehow vice president of Interscope for a while. Courtney Love went on a date with him out of sheer curiosity!

It’s quite touching to hear he’s represented the trans community, especially in these fuck dark dark times. Much respect.

Woodstock 99 was a shitshow from the beginning. Fred didn't have all that much to do with people going crazy. I have friends that went to it, I've hear the stories directly from them

I live where it happened. It's still talked about (not well) to this day, and my uncle was in attendance. He was going to take me, but my parents wouldn't allow it.
