John Hughes you're my hero

Two movie makers most defined key aspects of my youth (Cameron Crowe being the other). They could always be counted on to properly bring context to the world I was attempting to discern. And if all else failed their work was the comfort I sought when that world was otherwise overwhelming. Thus, I am deeply wounded by the loss of one of the pillars of my generation's cultural standard. A hero of my imagination. A savior of my very sanity.

Mr. Hughes you shall be missed. But we will remember you often. And with gusto.
