"When I first put on the new album he made about the tragedy with local experimental duo The Living Earth Show as Trust Me, called Why I Like Dead Guys, I expected a howl of cathartic rage, a furious screed against the abject violence of fate."
"What came out of the speakers, however, was a luminously detailed, sublimely tender meditation not just on his father's murder and his tangled relationship with his stepbrother, but on many of the men-and other strong spirits-who Breedlove had encountered throughout his life."
"Breedlove told the press after the murders: 'I just want everybody to think good thoughts for the survivors of this family. They're all suffering and in shock. Of course, we're going to try to make sense of the nonsensical.'"
Robert Breedlove and his wife were murdered by Patricia's son, Dennis Lee Wallace, leading to Wallace's imprisonment. Lynn Breedlove, their child, is a notable punk figure. Lynn's new album, Why I Like Dead Guys, created with The Living Earth Show, serves as a meditation on loss and relationships rather than a rage-filled response. The album reflects Breedlove's history of honesty and empathy, emphasizing the need for compassion for those affected by the tragedy.
