Quine started out as a Velvet Underground fan, we owe him the Quine Tapes that were released a couple of years ago... great solo work, big loss. And yes, it was suicide... Gwendal

Didn't want to see it go unmentioned in the wake of other, perhaps more identifiable, persons having passed recently. Brilliant, manic guitar. jeff np- "Love Comes in Spurts"
