RIP Paul Allen. Co-founder of Microsoft, owner of the Seattle Seahawks & other things too numerous to mention. I'm posting this to recognize his philanphropy. The man gave literally billions of dollars to charity & fund medical research. If someone came to him with a proposal for a company or project, typically he would ask if it would do some good in the world. If the answer was a positive he would reply "let's do it". I sat next to him once at an event for Robbie Robertson. Seemed pretty normal for someone who was 1 of the wealthiest men in the world. Was a huge music fan, too. He will be missed. Definitely changed the world some.
Wow wasn't he young? I have to say when I was in college it was because of Bill Gates and him that I got free software because I went to a State University you do have to give them credit
I remember Robert saying, in the early days, that he wanted The Cure to be like Buzzcocks at the time. Buzzcocks were also responsible for the birth of independent record labels
