RE: Must Streams of 2020 (#2) - Townsends

Absolutely. One of the best of our time, IMO. I found one of his appearances on an obscure little podcast that's really haunting (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/32-anthony-bourdain-holiday-martinis-with-uncle-tony/id1040667321?i=1000379268814). It was two years before he died. He's getting schnockered on martinis and quite accidentally reveals a little about his struggles with depression. It really gives you a glimpse into the challenges he was facing at the time.

Thanks for the link. It was great. The last two minutes tells it all, doesn't it! Probably fuelled with the martinis but still on the mark. Unadulterated truth. Hard to hear in some ways now we know what happened.

You're welcome! Yeah, it was very revealing. I believe this was around the time his relationship with Asia Argento began. I believe that is what pushed him over the edge, I'm not placing blame because they were both adults.
