    Thanks for the note, Stone.

    Lately it seems the loudest voices in this world are the ones filled with loathing.
    I'm so glad the band — and we all — have a place where we can feel comfortable enough...to feel. Like the song says, "How do I feel?"

    How do I feel? Is spot on considering the year our guys have had personally. They COULD have simply shut down and no one would blame them.

    Thank you Stone . . . For your kind words, your empathy for those suffering around the world and for taking the time to remind us all to hang on and to take care of each other.  These thoughts and feelings are echoed back to you and yours.

    I hope people remember that WE are the antidote to these heartbreaking events. It sounds simple, and probably trite, but everybody has daily opportunities to make things better. My hope is that we take advantage of those opportunities.

    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.
