A beautiful requiem for the miracle that was D'Angelo.

The pen, the voice, the face, the talent.

The genius that he could summon by force of will.

The impossibility of categorizing him.

The void that his death leaves.

Tony Milek is the frontman of Bermuda Squares, guitarist in Neo Neos, one of the best punk songwriters and screamers in Minneapolis. This is a person who I’m proud to call a friend—who has helped me out in immeasurable ways. He’s going through a medical emergency right now and needs some help.
