Here’s another reason this should be called “Black Friday” — the great Klaus Kinski died on this date in 1991 in his home in Lagunitas — not far from San Francisco (map).

“I came into this world in the form of a human, but the sun, the stars, the wind, fire, deserts, forests, mountains, skies, oceans, and clouds were trapped inside me. Do not be sad, Nanhoi [Kinski’s son]. The truth is, I can never die.” — Kinski
