It's not that ironic that the person who chose “kidDEAD” for a moniker brought an uncompromising passion for life into this world. After all, one of Ross' many gifts was messing with your expectations and challenging your deepest beliefs with both compassion and humor.  I'm grateful that Ross left us some piece of that passion in his music and our memories, and I imagine he'd like nothing better than to celebrate his life and art alongside the comrades that loved him.  Thank you for being a part of our lives, my friend.  We'll carry you with us always in our hearts and in our headphones.  Words and music from: OneWerd  kidDEAD -"Imaginary Friends" feat.
