    I hope you can get to an EV show and do it for Matthew's spirit. I am convinced I got tix to the last area show because I have to go to Denver to visit my very sick friend Doug, who recently suffered a heart attack, a triple bypass, and a week later, a stroke. He's just 48. So, I'll be going to this show with Doug in mind, and if I can ever get my hand on a boot of the show, I'll be sending it his way.

    RIP Matthew.

    I am so sorry. He must have been 17 or 18 which is way too young to go. I have a daughter born in 1990.

    i have lost a half dozen friends/family in the past decade all way before their time as well as a really cool co-worker last month and it never gets any easier.

    just remember all the good times you had together and celebrate his LIFE instead of dwelling on the death.it helps! and in time your wound will heal.

    take care and be strong.

    Hope he' s livin' it up at the Great Gig in the Sky, brother.

    If you believe like I believe, then his spirit will be back again for another go-'round.

    All is one, and one is love.

    This one's for you:

    "With every breath, awakened regrets
    Back pages and days that only could've been spent
    Together, but we were, miles apart
    Every inch between us becomes light years now
    No time to be void, or save up on life
    Oh, you gotta spend it all"

    Makes the whole "I couldn't get EV tix, I think my world may end" mindset seem utterly ridiculous and idiotic. Death is the quickest way to put Life into perspective.

    Was it some sort of accident, or had he been ill?
