You were always my favorite. Yes, even before you died and suddenly everyone realized how awesome you were. You were my first musical memory I ever had. I was probably 5 or 6 and my friend’s mom had all your albums and she used to play them all the time whenever I came over. My friend and I would eat tons of candy, drink sugary drinks and then burn off our sugar high by dancing around her living room for as long as we could. It’s not that impressive of a memory compared to other peoples, but it’s a happy one and it’s what I think of whenever I hear your music. Not all the drama that happened afterwards. Happy Birthday.

What can you say about Sidney Crosby(notes) who still cannot recover from the concussion? He may miss even this season.
“God willing it won’t be true. Right now Crosby is one of the best hockey players in the world. If he leaves, it will be a huge loss for people and for the sport in general. I will be very upset.”
