Damn, I left in 2011, and I can’t even remember reading about him passing away. 2014 was a very stressful year, including a major surgery on the other side of the world. But I feel very un-Bostonian for not knowing this or remembering it. He was the mayor for most of my time spent in Boston, Cambridge, and the MetroWest as an adult.

Yeah in 2014 I was wandering around Cambridge high on meth so I also didn’t realize he died and was metaphorically on the other side of the world so I feel your pain bro

Well, damn. I hope life is better for you now. In my day, I used to wander around Cambridge high on weed, before it was legal. So I feel you a bit on that one

Nah I’m fine lol that was like a decade ago I’m old now. But I didn’t realize he died then either though which isn’t very Bostonian or me either.

Mumbles was a legend
