I never followed Anthony Bourdain, but I sure like this! I wish I could like it way more than once!

- I never actually learned to play very well
Hmm, considering my aptitude for music, maybe I should become a culinary expert 
I could dig traveling the world to eat.

The man just made all my years in culinary worth it. I’ve never seen that but it’s nice to know we were kindred spirits. What a freaking force of nature he was.

Posthumous endorsement. From Laurie Woolever's Bourdain: The Definitive Oral History
Ariane Busia-Bourdain:
"I was singing for a long time, and I still am. In order to be in my camp, where I do rock music, I also need to play an instrument. And I was thinking, oh, what instrument should I play? My dad was like, “You know, the bass is, like, really cool. You're just in the back, you're just grooving, and it could also be the lead instrument of the song, it could just kind of put the song together.” That sounded perfect for me, because I don't really like being in the spotlight all the time, so being on the bass, it's my thing. I play bass pretty much because of him."

Too bad Mr. Bourdain did not get into TB, maybe posting, playing, and buying gear could have filled the hole that resulted in his suicide.
