A lovely radio interview with him from last fall.

On one hand, I am glad he gets to go be with the people he loves.

On the other hand, I am incredibly sad.  Godspeed, you curmudgeon.

Sad news.

Seriously I can not imagine my childhood with out him. Both Where the Wild Things are, and his version of the Nutcracker played huge roles in how I imagine adventure. Rest in peace, you wonderful curmudgeon.

"Oh Please don't go- We'll eat you up we love you so!"

And Max said "NO"

And then the Wild Things threw a temper tantrum.

RIP.  For as long as I can remember there's been a print of Where the Wild Things Are hanging on my wall.  I plan for it to hang there throughout my own future children's childhoods as well.

I listened to a series of past interviews he did with Terry Gross from NPR today, running to mark his passing.  What a strange and wonderful man.

His interviews with Stephen Colbert last year were hysterical.  Sadness.
