Not long ago I meditated on the death of the blog and character of Latigo Flint. I was attempting to make a point about metaphorical and artistic suicides. It is clear to me now via several emails that folks took my words more literally.
I CANNOT CONFIRM THAT THE ACTUAL PERSON WHO CREATED THE LATIGO FLINT BLOG IS ALIVE OR DEAD.
I have received no news about the author and only know him through the blog and personna of Latigo Flint. I have come to learn that his first name is Brian. If anyone out here in LA knows the real Latigo Flint, please let us know that he is OK. Anonymity will be preserved etc. If anyone knows his full real name, I would gladly make inquiries to the authorities.
I very much know the feeling of regret and sorrow about suicides. I have experienced it myself and I recognize that tone in the most recent email. Let us remain optimistic that Brian has merely gotten bored with blogging and is going about his life in healthy spirits.
I apologize to anyone I have misled and I will try to be more precise with my metaphors in the future and leave no question as to whether I am speaking of a person or a work of art.
UPDATE: I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE AUTHOR OF LATIGO FLINT IS ALIVE AND WELL.
