Moment of Remembering

This weekend the Minneapolis music scene lost a very talented man. Eyedea (aka Micheal Larson) was found dead in his home yesterday. It is not clear what he died from, however, it is a shock to all.
Eyedea, as I am sure you know was part of the local Rhymesayers label. Label mates include Atmosphere, Brother Ali, etc.
Oh Friday night Eyedea was seen at the 7th Street Entry checking out fellow friend/artist/collaborator/band mate Abilities who was performing with Pigeon John from LA.
It was one of those deaths which has taken everyone by surprise and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. There is a memorial account set up to help his mother pay for funeral costs, which can be found on this facebook page.

What a loss.
