It was a privilege to be friends with someone who was so engaged with so many aspects of life - and whether he was talking about REM, wrestling, family, The Simpsons, scammers, work or politics, Matt approached every subject with enthusiasm and sincerity, as well as being blunt and hilarious. He was the master of the creative insult, but he saved them for the politicians and bands who deserved them - he had such warmth for those he was close to in life. My thoughts are with everyone Matt leaves behind.
