❤️❤️❤️❤️ “Four-Five-Six-Seven, all good cretins go to heaven!” Saw this beautiful tribute to the forever punker Britt Adair on Instagram and after the tears it made me smile ear to ear. She made the music scene here in Kansas City a lovely welcoming place. The best reaction I got from her at a concert was saying “You’re totally a female version of Joey Ramone” She went nuts over that. What a legendary figure in the community. Turning it up to 11 and sending all the love and support to everyone in KC.

To those who loved Britt Adair, I wanted to share a few outtakes (some out of focus) from Wick and Clay’s wedding. My deepest condolences. Britt and I weren’t friends, we were just people at the same shows, but she always showed me kindness and my heart goes out to her family and close friends. Kansas City was better having her in it. Much love to you all. I will never forget her kindness and her spirt. Once she brought me a water bottle just because I was sweating profusely at her show and probably looked bright red and like an elder punk in need of -something-… her kindness and empathy was immeasurable.
