Yes, reading Blind Melon/Shannon stories gives me chills each time. They're always so full of emotions I can relate to!

I agree man.Besides my decision to wear no shoes,there are other ways that Shannon has had an afect on me.I think I'm happier & can share that happiness with others,Melons or not.I also feel that I have alot in common or am on somewhat of the same wavelength as he was/is.We were born the same year & our Daughters were born the same year as I have said before.Most of all I try to make the best of each day,stay away from hard drugs & just Enjoy! life while I'm here cuz, ...A Man like me can easily let the day get outta control...

Ok, no one faint or anything. but i have a confession....i don't own the Nico cd, never even heard it..... i know i know I'm terrible.... I'm going to buy it right before I leave for the April vigil and listen to it all the way to indiana. Shannon makes me feel loved, he makes me feel like he's a big brother standing behind me all the time, pushing me when i need it, and hugging me when I'm down. What a beautiful soul he is....

looks like I'm the tail end here.......I have alot to say about Shannon Hoon, but I've never been good with words (sorry). The only thing I realy know to say is, THANK you Shannon....for the help through all those long long lonely nights!!! You gave me life when there was none!! I miss you....as does every one here.

Meloncholy,You're gonna love The Nico cd & I'll be happy for you when get it.I still listen to it over & over when it ends up in the Vans cd player & doesn't get taken out for a long time.Somehow they got the songs on that cd to come together nicely & Shannons voice sounds great on all the tracks.

I keep bypassing this thread because I don't know if what I have to say is very interesting but here goes.....
The first time I heard of Blind Melon was when the video for "no rain" came on and I was INSTANTLY drawn to it, when I first heard Shannon and saw him it was like I was instantly infatuated, I had never heard a voice like that, it was raw and pure at the same time, its hard to describe exactly. Shannon brought me in, I have to admit it, I was a teenager and he was probably the most beautiful man I had ever seen. All through my life I can always put on a Blind Melon CD and it simplifies things for me. When life gets all complicated and stressful this music is the only thing that can bring me into perspective and I don't feel so bad. It brings me back to earth. I get so sad when I think of Shannon being gone, I never knew him, but he was one unique and special person. It must have been a high just being around him!
