This whole month is always a very dark month for myself. but the feeling you get on this day, is something that i wouldnt wish upon anyone. I could only imagine what Nel must be feeling!
All I can say, on this day, us Blind Melon fans should play Shannons music louder then its ever been played, this may be the die he died but it wont be the day hes forgotten.

We should play his music and try to remember what a beautiful person he was. He had a great heart.

My heart too goes out to Nel and her family, and the band on this very sad day, as well as others who were very close to Shannon. R.I.P. Shannon, you're forever in our hearts and minds.

Sad indeed... so here is what we do! look up the ELECTRIC version of SOUL ONE, turn it up until you can feel the bass notes in you head... close your eyes and reflect on the early 90's. Burn one if you all do that. Enjoy Blind Melon today!!!! We also lost some Skynyrd members on the 20th. Steve Gains was a friend, he was one hell of a guit-box player! But still folks ... BEE happy. We have Blind Melon make'n music for us... Life is GOOD !

This day must be hard for so many people. I know it's hard for us as fans but it must be difficult for his loved ones. My thoughts are will all who love Shannon today.

I have a bottle of chardonnay, a pack of Camel No. 9s, and a comfy couch on which to spend the evening watching some of my favorite dvds........
Rest in peace, Shannon. It's a sad, sad day in Melonland today, but I love the common advice found here - TURN IT UP!!!! I for one will do just that.

This is indeed a sad day for all who love Shannon and all that were effected by his music, he touched so many. I am thankful we were blessed with him even though it was only for a short amount of time.
His memory will live on forever.

I didn't even realize it was the 21st until I was at work this afternoon. Something told me to put on a Melon shirt this morning.
My heart goes out to Nel, his family, the band, and anyone else who was close to Shannon.
R.I.P.

Have you seen this Pear Jam tribute to Shannon - very emotional - get out the kleenex....it's on Nel's MySpace so I assume most of you have seen it - but it is so moving I thought it would bear repeating, especially today.....
