tears and Beach Boys

Her eyes dripped with tears stained black with eye liner.  The tears trickled down the wrinkles under her eyes, across the wrinkles in her cheeks, and fell off her chin.  Her body tightened as she began to tell me that her husband had drowned in California.  He was pretty famous.  The drummer for the Beach Boys, she continued.  They were heroine addicts together and she said the eulogy at his funeral.

I researched all this.  Apparently her facts were accurate.  But I’m still not sure about her former marriage status and mental health.

Despite the sarcasm, this does make me genuinely sad.
