Stanley T. Mad Hatter has passed
Detroits legendary rock n roll Emcee Stanley T. Mad Hatter has left the building. He apparently left us last night.
I met Stan back in the 80s when I was a bouncer at the Nectarine Ballroom. I would go hang out with him in the DJ booth and have a smoke with him most nights. He always had a boatload of candy spread out next to the lighting equipment he tended to. He was a Brother.

Mitch Ryder: "Last time I saw him was over the summer at the premier of Blank Generation in Ann Arbor. He seemed fine and did not indicate that he was having any serious health problems, so this is certainly suprising. My history with Stanley goes back to 1969, so naturally this is a sad occasion. I am distressed and curious. Does anyone have the details of how he passed?"
