RIP Tariq Ali
StonerRock.com, which has been following the story of one Tariq Ali, one of its board members who went missing Sept. 13, has posted an update that his body has been found in a forest near his home, dead in an apparent suicide. Again, I didn’t know him at all, we’d never spoken, but the scene around this music is small enough that there’s a genuine sense of community and to lose someone under these circumstances hits us all pretty hard. The Obelisk sends condolences to his family and friends.
Here’s a local newspaper story.
