He was also a lovely human being with time for everyone and a wisdom that was both profound and accessible. It was an honor and of course a real pleasure to work with him. He was a brilliant lyricist, a DJ, a Buddhist, a magnificent stage presence, car lover, endless talker, beautiful person , moral compass and genius”.
