<p lang="en" dir="ltr">RIP Little Richard. The man who invented Rock and Roll. Elvis popularized it. Chuck Berry was the storyteller. Richard was the archetype. Maureen and I were so honored being the first marriage he conducted. We were lucky to know him. He lives forever in the Underground Garage. <a href="https://t.co/D8NwRKcshi">https://t.co/D8NwRKcshi</a></p>
