    Thank you for being a good man.  Its refreshing to have a hero we can be proud of. When I think the world is on fire, I try to remember something Ed said at MSG "if it seems like the world is overwhelming sometimes, it is...we take in more information now in 1 hour than people just a few decades ago took in in 1 year". Take a step back if its too much. 

    Tough year for sure, I agree. Everybody watch out for each other.

    Yes, Cornell is the top of the list as well. Mental Illness is not an after thought. Life will get better for all, just hold on. Positive thoughts and be there for each other. It's all we can do right now. Don't let the fear win.

    I think he's still kinda the unsung leader in some ways..... have always had that vibe. Not to mention he and Jeff always being the unsung heart and soul.

    A lot of people feel this way. It's not really a special note.  As soon as I read  Burma in the statement (Myanmar) all I thought of was the Seinfeld reference.

    It was kind, compassionate and honest.  Good enough for me.

    here is an idea on how to help. TOUR! take our minds off the horrors of the world by belting out hits arm in arm night after night and make a shirt, hat something that 100% of the proceeds go to a different organization each night. help by getting out there. make it 2 dollars per ticket sold to vitalogy. open can drives, clothes donations at each show... there is plenty of things they can do to help just by touring. and trust me, this band does a SHITLOAD already and im sure we are all thankful for that but touring is a great way to reach the masses

    nah, he worships Ed too much to be the unsung leader. he's just grateful Ed is still in PJ. he said so in his own words. 
    Darwinspeed, all. 

    Cheers,
