I’m not good at writing these things, because I so hate the dishonesty of sentimentality that I end up giving dead people a hard time rather than a break. However, I did read two fitting tributes to the colorful Quiet Riot singer. Metal Mark‘s tribute takes an honest look at DuBrow’s public self and Ray‘s is a little more personal. Both avoid being overly sentimental and dishonest and, in the end, do more justice to DuBrow’s life than absurd “things won’t be the same without you” statements.
