Erik Kramer Put a Bullet Through His Head. This Is What Happened Next...
The Erik Kramer story should be a tragedy.Former NFL quarterback is gripped by depression. He packs a pistol, checks into a hotel room, lies down on the bed and then the calm Southern California night is pierced by a gunshot.
He literally puts a bullet through his brain.
But the story does not end there.
It begins.
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me
"Let It Go," a song by James Bay from the album Chaos and the Calm, has been therapeutic for Kramer. It's good for him to listen to on days like June 24.
