Space Alien Donald Illustration by Tommy Cannon
We regret to inform those who are still unaware, of the passing of our friend Space Alien Donald.

* * * Eulogy for Donald Thomas Roth * * *
My uncle was a Space Alien,
An intergalactic oddity who time-traveled the galaxy all his life,
Tripping circuits and scooping tachyrons into pretty glass jars, mesmerized when they lit up like fireflies.
He collected rocks; slept in deserts; flaunted gaudy hats…and memorized all of Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”.
This last point is not true, but he would have wanted it to be.
My uncle was a Space Alien.
He called himself “the World’s Oldest Gay Canadian Rapper” and kept YouTube time in rigid boombox beats.
He ate cake and ice cream every day without guilt.
He experimented, collected data, kept notebooks, made pronouncements…
But all his life, I think what he wanted most was to sneak up on Gravity and catch a shot of her naked so he could share it with Einstein in a parallel universe.
Maybe that’s where he is now.

* * *Space Alien Donald was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to Thomas and Anne Roth in 1935. He died in his sleep in Phoenix, Arizona on April 20, 2015, five months shy of his 80th birthday. * * *
We miss Donald very much. We don’t need to say much else, his life, music, art, science and existence speaks for itself. Here is a new video of him performing the song “The Moon” at Braggs Pie Factory in 2013. We hope it makes your day a little better.
