    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.

    Stone's just a cool dude. Makes me wanna hang out on my back deck with him, enjoying a cold beer together and watching my kids play. Thanks Stone!
  • Beautiful words to read, especially waking up to the news out of London this morning.

    You're a good man, Stone; thank you.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    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.
