I think it would be nice to dig up some quotes, to help remember the kind of great person Shannon was and why his memory will live on forever:

"We never were the band that believed in making all that money and becoming stars. It meant more us to have a group that had unity and people to lean on if you were fucking up"
"You use everything. You use tragedy you use everything"
"I really enjoy the therapeutic value of writing songs"

" That's when I realize that the people who come to the shows, that's their role... to help us understand why we enjoy doing this sometimes. "

"We all enjoy the band and what we're doing, but we know this isn't gonna last forever" "I feel we really sampled a lot of musical styles that we were interested in. You do that at the risk of losing a lot of people, but I think that anybody who really likes the band realizes that we like to change" "A kid does that to you, Lisa and I are trying to build a very good home for her, and I don't think that me being in jail somewhere is the appropriate way to go about it"

"It definitely tests your will - New Orleans is no place for a frustrated metabolism. There's so much to do there and there's so much that the city offers; your day is not built around recording a record. We weren't just down there to make a record - we were down there to blow out all the cobwebs in every part of your body."
"I think it just becomes a matter of respecting the people that you create with," You don't have to be best friends. Tension is a very inspiring and very creative element in this band."
"You have to argue in order find out more about a person"

"So I don't know if a lot people, a lot of different religious beliefs....all I know is that I watch the news a lot...sit and watch..and you sit and you try to understand why people kill one another over each others different religious beliefs...you know I'm not...maybe I haven't brushed up on what religion is all about but I didn't think that killing was something that really had to do with proving which religion was right...I think everybody has their own god inside of them it's just up to you to find it...so that's gonna help you grow as a human being...whatever it is, it's different for each one of us, I belive, at least that's what I think about it."
From Wetlands show.

Holy shit!..Creepy!! I was going through these quotes for the second time now and the Wetlands show is playing in the background..As i was reading the quote Barbara posted,right at the same time Shannon said that..What are the odds that i happen to read it here exactly at the same time as i hear it on cd..
Haha...cool!

Just one of many surreal Shannon experiences I'm sure.
