........
Dead at 74
And so you see, I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

    Music is the engine to my Imagination and Pearl Jam is the fuel for that engine.

    Oh man. Fuckin cancer takes another one too soon.

    I saw him at a donut shop on Franklin Avenue here in LA about 25 years ago. Just a regular unassuming guy, drinking some coffee and munching away on a donut.

    (we left him alone)

    RIP for sure.

    Of course I had to partake in some of their music - the live shit, mind you - Moonlight Drive, Wishful Sinful, LA Woman, among others.

    Somehow I drifted from that to Mr. Cash, then Cash & Willie.

    Ended up with Willie singing Amazing Grace, Amsterdam 2007.

    Kinda fitting, and utterly sweet :)
