The Boston Phoenix reports that antic Boston music scenester and promoter Billy Ruane is dead at 52. His friends and admirers are appending eulogies to the Phoenix post. Here’s one from Johnny Angel (Wendell) that sums things up perfectly:
He was a man of exquisite taste and an army of internal devils. That he walked or staggered among us for as long as he did was his greatest gift — tireless champions of the arts are always saints no matter their other defects.

Classic Ruane moment begins around 1:06 in the video below:
Obit for Ruane’s father, one of Wall Street’s most successful investors.
We’ll miss you, Billy!
