RIP Little Richard

Sad to hear this news, although it's been expected for a while. Little Richard, the king AND queen of rock and roll, has passed away at the age of 87. I met Richard once at an outdoor Oldies concert in the 1990s. He has the biggest head I've ever seen, and there must have been five inches of pancake makeup on it. But once the show started, he lit up and rocked.

Little Richard's Rock Hall induction speech for Otis Redding is full of music, joy, and moments like this. He was legitimately hilarious. pic.twitter.com/lUmqVxEeBB
