I’ve just learned that Mike Acton died. I’d known him since first grade. He was the drummer for Ravenous Doorknobs and Icicle Thieves, two bands with which long-time readers should be familiar. I hadn’t seen Mike much in recent years, but he was present for some memorable times and significant moments in my own life. He is survived by his son, Cody, his parents, his brother and sister and their families, and his friend and companion Di Sutter. Our condolences and best wishes go out to them all. I’ll talk more about Mike when I am able; sufficient to say that he always had the ability to make us laugh, and there are few better things that you can say about a person.
