RIP Randy Bewly (Pylon)

Sad news from Pylon tonight...

This past Monday evening, Randy Bewley had a heart attack while driving his van on Barber Street in Athens, GA. He was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center. Today, our bandmate and brother passed away at a little before 5 p.m. with his family and friends at his side. He will be missed, even as we celebrate his life and creativity. His guitar sound was as special as he was and always will be. Randy's guitar work defined not only a generation of sound but Randy himself. His visual art, painting and photos, combined with his signature sound formed a loose set of boundaries that helps understand him. His quiet devotion to family and friends will become a benchmark for those he leaves behind.

yeah.. this really needs to stop.

I'm glad he left this realm doing something he so loved to do. (and selfishly, I'm glad I got to see them a few times again in 04-5's reunion shows).
