I knew he'd been sick for a while, but very sad. Funny man.
Richard Lewis tweeted out a Little Feat song one time so I responded mentioning that the drummer, Richie Hayward (RIP), was a friend of my fathers (and Ames High alum). He replied saying that “Richie was a great friend that helped me get sober”.
He went on to delete the response to me but tweeting out a similar sentence right after. Probably my favorite Twitter interaction.
RIP to the legend Richard Lewis.
