Drake is a god, imho, and next to Nick Cave, is my other fantasy musical boyfriend (without the depression, though; and Cave would have to leave his misogyny at the door...although I think he's grown out of most of that in recent years). Drake's life and its early end sadden me deeply. I wish he'd been able to find better help for his depression and ways of dealing with it that didn't include ending his life and the inability to have a successful relationship with others. I would have loved to watch him grow into old age and hear the music he created throughout the rest of his life.
