I'm sorry to hear that you've lost a friend. Who was he to you? (clearly a fellow band member--just wondering if there was anything else you wanted to say).

Who was he to you?

He was my best friend for nearly 14 years. We wrote thirty songs together. He was such a potent personality that we couldn't spend much time together without coming to blows, but we continued to collaborate long distance until two years ago.

Thanks Marco. I did have more to say, plenty more, in fact. I just wasn't sure if a public blog was the appropriate place for my thoughts on this topic. I felt an overwhelming need to do something, but I couldn't focus enough to get anything done. You inspired me to just start writing and the words poured. Writing is so much easier without an audience. It allowed me to get down the important parts without worrying about chronology or theme or composition. I wrote fifty paragraphs, most of them started with "He was...", "And then he..." or "And then we...". It probably shouldn't be read by anyone other than myself, but it helped me adjust.

Larry,
Lost track of Rick when you both split town for Nashville.
I had Rick in the swamis for about a year and a half and
he loved every minute of it. Never forget the day he wrangled
Mitch into coming to mix a song during a session. I wasn't sure
if Mitch thought he was going to mix or what but Ricky got him
to tweak it through sheef force of charm and will. I am as shocked
and moved as anyone by his loss

hi. thanks for posting the photos of rick. he and my brother were best friends when they were kids, sharing a love of music and horror movies. i had not seen him since high school, but this hit pretty hard. i did a short blog on him, sans pictures, if you care to look.

Suzy, Rick didn't say goodbye to you because his death was completely unexpected--he died of a heart attack. I want to make sure that you are aware of this, as I would hate to think that you or any of his other friends think otherwise. Take comfort in knowing that he was thinking of you and wrote to you that last night.
Rick and I always tended to float in and out of each other's lives--he was my first date, my first kiss, my first love--but I lost track of him when he moved to Nashville, which is something I will always regret. The last time I saw him was on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill with his blond hair dyed hot pink, playing his guitar and busking for change (just for fun he told me, not that he really needed the money...) He saw me down the street and shouted out my name and flashed that wonderful ol' Hasley smile my way.

I always knew that if Rick had his music, there was nothing to worry about. Like Cindy said in her blog (and yes, I'm the friend mentioned), there's a lot of us who grew up in Kinston who owed Rick a lifelong debt of gratitude for his musical influences on us all. There's been many a time in my life when I hear a particular band or song and smile inside knowing that Rick was the one who first said "Hey, you've got to listen to this..."

Some of us (the old high school friends) are gathering tonight in Kinston-- hard to fathom that it's been over a week since we gathered there to say goodbye to Rick--to talk, to heal, to reminisce. I'm sure there will be lots of tears, some laughter and plenty of music.

I am holding onto a big strong tree with deep, deep roots and I am waiting for the storm of grief to pass. I wish I hadn't heard about his passing; it has taken a few days to even begin to sink in. When I think of the sheer charisma and spiritual fire that Rick had, it's very hard to believe it could ever have been extinguished, let alone at age 45. For those of us who knew Rick, he was the perpetual child, so I can't even picture him at 45 (it's been 12 or more years since I've even seen him). I've never met anyone like him. He made me laugh until tears streamed down my cheeks. He made me cry like an orphaned child. Every minute with him was charged with possibility. You never knew what was going to happen next! I never felt so alive as when we were together. I could fill a book with all the funny, outrageous, loving things he said and did, the crazy times we had together...in the studio, at the drive-in, at the beach, driving in the beaters we had back then. We were poor as dirt, but Rick could whip through the nearly-bare kitchen cabinets and whip up a meal that was fit for a princess (that lucky princess was me at the time). Rick was not built for speed - he was built for fun! I loved his big pudgy hands that were like a puppy's paws. I loved the way he walked all bouncy up on the balls of his feet. As childlike as Rick was, he was also an old soul. Words can't begin to express what that meant to me, but those of you who knew him know exactly what I mean. I think there was a capacity for feeling everything - the good and the bad - more deeply than anyone. If I could go back, I would tell Rick that I will always love him, I forgive him, I hope that he could forgive me, and I hope that his life was happy and full. I'll never have the chance to say those things, and for that I am very sad. This was a fire that burned very bright, and I never figured out how to love him without getting too close to the heat...

I'll never forget him. Could anyone?

Rick absolutely adored his mother and sister and the rest of his family. I am so sorry for their loss.

...I'm listening to GP's Cry One More Time and Patty Griffin's Long Ride Home...

This hurts!

It's one in the morning and I can't sleep. Saw Patty Griffin in concert last night and she played Mad Mission and Long Ride Home and I heard them like I've never heard them before. I'm pulling out CDs I haven't listened to in years. I rifled through a big box of "Junk" and found some old letters from Rick, some happy, some not so happy, some really funny. Found a picture of a much younger me, playing his guitar. I wish I had more pictures of him if someone could post some that would be great. I don't know what the hell I'm doing but I guess I'm just trying to find a way to say goodbye. I haven't seen Rick in probably 12 years, why did it take this to make me miss him? I hope everyone out there is doing better than me. I feel like I'm losing my mind. - Jenni

Thank you so much for posting the pictures. Rick always told us about you guys so we almost felt we knew all of you. Rick was such a blessing to our family and we loved him dearly as he did us. In the bedroom our little grand-kids play in, Rick painted a mural that covers the whole wall. It is the ocean and up one of the Palm trees is a monkey that is cross eyed. Rick told me it had to be so the kids would have something to laugh about. He always thought about others. He was a joy to me and I am so thankful for all our wonderful memories. I am his Aunt, but he was like my #2 son. My son was closest to Rick's age in our family and they were brothers to each other. Our loss is beyond words.

Hey, Jeanne. Don't know if you'll remember me or not, but I'm Ashe & I was dating April back when you & Rick were living together in Chapel Hill. We came over for dinner a couple of times. Rick would fix a delicious dinner & make martinis. April & I were both students at UNC. I'm from Kinston & have known Rick since 1st grade. I saw him very infrequently over the past 20 years or so. We got to spend a great night together at the Opryland Hotel about 15 years ago when he was a chef in Nashville. April was with me (we've been married for 24 years now & have an 18 year old son at NCSU & a 16 year old daughter) & we were attending a tradeshow. He had dinner & drinks with us & we talked for hours. Other than that, I got to see him briefly when he was home for Christmas. Rick was a very special friend to me, and when I learned of his death, I immediately called his Mom & asked her if I could do an eulogy at his funeral. It was all I could do to get through it. If I can figure our how to post it on this site, I will. Rick had an amazing talent that I don't believe he was fully aware. Self-esteem was not his strong suit, and he never realized just how good of a guitar player & song writer he really was. In fact, his guitar playing is better than most of the guitarist who "made it" either in Country or Rock 'N Roll, esp. the newer bands. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. Hope you are well & enjoy living in NY. Ashe Exum Kinston, NC (252)521-4481 aexumjr@suddenlink.net

Hi Larry, Jenni and Holden... Darren DeLoach here (Living in Alaska now...) Really sad to hear this news, though as everyone would attest he lived life hard and full every day and nobody can keep that up forever, I think. He was one of the most incredible, and incredibly frustrating ;) person I have ever known. Amazing talent, and practically a force of nature in personality. Larry, I assume you have copies yourself but sometime ago I took the E-Fields stuff Rick and I did and copied the tape to a CD for a permanent copy; if you don't have one I can send you a copy (I actually still have two or three cassettes in original packaging). As for myself I somehow lost the original tracks we did in your living room including "Never Been to Nashville", etc and I would actually like to have a copy if you have them. Email is darren at deloach dot com. Glad to hear (from your blog) your work is going well now, and hope all is otherwise well for you... Darren

Heya Larry: Although Ricky and I never met IRL we had a lovely Spring-to-Summer online fling back in 1996. Yeah, I know it sounds cheesy but we truly did connect. We spent hundreds of hours in IM-land and on the phone, talking about GP, drive-ins and Life In General..playing guitars and whispering softly and just cracking up. That boy vould make me laugh my fool ass right off! He told me much about you; at the time CT were happening-- I will treasure the video tape he sent me of you and him and Polly singing in a bathroom at Joshua Tree.. We lost touch when I moved to Colorado (from the beach west of Hwy 101 --what WAS I thinking..) and lately I've been trying to find him again. To find that Ricky had died was a shock, to say the least. Damn those diet pills he was gobbling back then-- I always told him that he was handsome and surely not too fat.. I wish he had listened.

I am lonely tonight and gazing at the framed pic of 'Cowboy X' that Rick sent to me-- I suppose we'll all meet up in Sin City one of these nights. I believe he's jamming there with Gram right now.

Peace to you, Larry-- I just wanted to publically post that Rick Hasley meant a lot to a lot of folks. Even to people he never actually met. Keep the faith, man, and keep on playing. If you're ever out west, email me and I'll make ya a pot of tea and we can reminisce..

Aloha,

I met Rick when I was in the 9th grade. My brother was dating his sister and that year I went to Rochelle Jr. High. Rick was a grade behind me in school so we met in the halls before, between and after class.
We were Todd Rundgren fans. We were dreamers. We were friends. We were clowns. We were smart. We had the entire world before us and no one could tell us shit...
I have some great memories of Rick and the times we spent together; bad horror movies, bad double dates, a little insurance claim involving a Subaru and a bicentennial gibson fire bird, the chorus in Peter Pan ( and yes there were a bazillion references to Buggs Bunny and the scene with "The Boys in the Chorus"). I cannot hear the Grinch complaining "...and the Noize Noize Noize", without thinking of Rick, Krispy(RIP), Steve, Lennie, Winkie, Mo, Joanie & Tim, Butch, Whitney & Stacey & Tim, Ray Ray, Patrick....I can't think of Rick without thinking of anyone connected to the drama dept. at KHS, Betty, Nelson, Willie...the list goes on.
I have lost 3 friends this year. Friends I should have stayed in touch with and not lost track of. I got away from the booze and the drugs and the lack of anything positive in Kinston and went in the service. When I came back...it was like the whole family moved and didn't leave a forwarding address.
I regret not contacting Rick when I saw his post on Jeff Christopher's obituary. I thought to myself....I'll do it in a few days.Three divorce lawyers, several thousand dollars and two civil suits later, it's too late.
Don't let it be too late for any of you.....get in touch with the ones you need.

Hello. I saw your comments on Rick's death while reading how much Rick touched the lives of so many people. I'm Stacey, and I wondering who you are? In your blog I saw that you referenced a time that I had almost forgotten, but shouldn't have. A flood of memories came back as you mentioned Noize. Wow I still can't beleive it, Rick is gone...I saw him last in Baltimore after my separation; he was visiting my brother Whitney and wrote a song for me. I can still see the sweet look in his face when he gave it to me. What a sweet soul. I didn't know Jeff had died; I also just realized Oran Perry died quite a few years ago. I guess the longer we live the closer we get to it. I just wish we all remembered that, as I now regret not letting Rick know how very much I apprecited his thoughtfulness.

Please let me know who you are as I would love to see how the rest of our "crew" is doing from the Noize days. You can email me at stacey@unitedoutsource.com.

This is Todd, one of the drummers who played with the E-Fields. I was surfing the web to see if any E-Fields songs were posted anywhere because I haven't heard them in a long time and don't have any copies anymore. And then I see that Rick died almost a year ago. Good god, I'm weak...I can't believe it. Even though I haven't seen Rick in years I will always have fond memories of sharing an apartment with him at Cedar Court in Carrboro, NC and playing drums with him in the E-Fields, and even getting to record with him at Overdub Lane. What a total sweetheart of a guy. A talented guitar player and songwriter and a really, really cool guy. My condolences to his family. I'd love to get in touch with anyone interested in sharing some stories about Rick. Please contact me at aljackson_jr@yahoo.com

Wow, this is a sad day for me.
Love you Rick.

Larry,

I am a high school friend of Rick's who had not laid eyes on him since I left Kinston in 1978. I just thought of him today and decided to Google him because I was sure he had made some impact in the world of music. (Sounds like he did.) I was deeply saddened to read of his passing all too soon. (I don't get a lot of Kinston news.) There are two stories about Rick I wanted to pass on. First, he and I had a high school elective course together, which was Health Occupations. We were working on a project using a reference book that our teacher owned. We decided to write in the book, basically defacing it. The next day, the teacher asked us to stay after class and threatened to take us to the principals office. I'm scared to death, saying we were wrong, begging her not to do it. Rick's like, screw it, let's go, you're not going to threaten me, lady. I'm like, what the hell are you saying? She cut us some slack. The other thing I distinctly remember, ironically, is the day after the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash, Rick was in school, against his wishes, and he was pretty inconsolable. He kept saying, "the music died." Somehow, today, that is how I feel.

Sounds like you two were the best of friends. Thanks for being his friend.

This is Jeanne Gransee from Chapel Hill. I was dating Rick when the Creosote Twins were born. I just googled Rick for the hell of it and was crushed to read of his death over a year ago. I can't believe it. When I see all the names the memories come flooding back. How young and crazy we were. Jenni put it best when she said you couldn't love him without getting too close to that heat. (Jenni, I'm sorry for all the stuff we went through. It all seems so foolish now.) The world seems a bit dimmer knowing his light has gone out. He was always surprised that he lived to be older than Gram though :-) Larry, I would love to hear some of the music you created together. It would mean a lot to me. I'll try to find some photos to post. I used to have some shots of the Creosote Twins playing at Weaver Street. I'll see what I can dig up.

My heart goes out to his family. Especially his mom. She loved him so much. You are all in my prayers.

Wow, where do I start. I called Ricks Mom to get up with him to let him know Krispy died. She called and informed him, and he called me the next day and he and I both cried, talked about how much of a loss we had suffered. Not knowing that the pain of losing another brother was in store for me. I have read his last email a thousand times now and still can't believe he will never answer the last one I sent. I met Rick at KHS in 1977,we were instant brothers and soon our group had grown to 7. Rick, Lennie, Steve, Ray, Krispy , Tim and me. I cannot think of a night or weekend that we didn't hang out together. I still can hear those limber fingers making that guitar talk as if it were alive. So much talent, yet so much pain. He didn't handle the loss of personal relationships very well but who does right? We have cried on each others shoulders, jammed till the cows came home and I can honestly say, Rick, you and Krispy not being here has left a large void in my life. There has not a week passed by that I haven't been to the grave site and just talked to you like we used to. I will always hold you in my heart, and I pray for your Mom and Tammy's pain to ease with time. She is a very special lady and I have always held her with the highest admiration. I will say what we said each time we hung up the phone or were saying good bye, I love you bro, see you soon and I'll be thinking of you everyday.

Your still my best friend and your smile is forever embedded in my memory.

They have put up a very nice monument at Ricks grave site. I will try to get a picture and post it soon.
