Edgar Ivan Carranza (”Eddy Sky” to friends) was my good friend, and a was a roadie/go go dancer on tour for my band Bomb.
Eddie died of AIDS in 1995.
I am really missing him today for some reason.
Eddy was a really sweet guy. Great painter. Smart. Funny. Very beautiful. Very bisexual. And loved pleasure in all its forms. Including needle drugs.
His grandfather was the president of Mexico:

Here’s the list of dead people I know:

Great song, as usual.
