<p>I am truly saddened to read about the death of Christy Dignam today, June 13th. I met the guy only a few times, but whenever we did interviews, Christy spoke his truths fearlessly and was mercilessly honest in the hope that by doing so, he might help other people. Too many rock stars I interviewed were full of bullshit or full of themselves. He was neither. I send my deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, friends and fans. </p>
