Remembering Wayne Shorter (1933-2023)

Nov 28, 2022

I'll be taking a "detoxing" break from Twitter - I don't know if I'll come back (although I think I'll maintain it here for the contacts and lists I have). I'm in need of a break from social media. My mental health haven't been great lately.

Beautiful letter Wayne wrote, with Hancock. RIP Wayne Shorter. 🎷

@PlayNostalgaia

Nameless Nhero or "near hero" is a category of "hero" that spawned into Nostalgaia as the world degraded and proven heroes were in short supply, much like you! He is resentful and scorned wishing for nothing more than to be praised and accepted. ⚔🛡
