R.I.P. River Phoenix
Today marks the twentieth anniversary of River Phoenix’s death. I’ve known this day was coming for many months, ever since I started working on writing Last Night at the Viper Room last year, and yet today I find myself surprised and saddened all over again. I just wanted to take a quiet moment out of the huggermugger of my life to reflect on his passing; whatever he meant to you, I hope you’ll do the same.

I was dismayed, just because I saw him in Stand by Me and Running on Empty (didn’t see My Own Private Idaho, probably because I was annoyed by its title; hey, I was seventeen), and he was already an amazing actor. Still sad.
