I read the article this morning, Hoberman's obit of Tony Conrad.
I knew he was very sick, and would not be getting better, it was
getting hard for him to walk, and the thought of cataloguing and
preserving all the films, tapes, costumes, objects and inventions in
his house was beginning to weigh on his friends.
But now I see his name in the paper, it is final. To remember Tony,
you can listen to his last performance of the Dream Syndicate:

or watch him talk about his yellow movies:

or read a recent article:
http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/mar/22/people-thought-we-were-on-drugs-and-we-were-tony-conrad-the-great-avant-garde-adventurer
or watch Marie Losier's brilliant film portrait:

All the ways in which Tony made us think or laugh, usually both, will
live on forever through his work and remembering moments of time
spent together in public or private.
Re-member Tony!
