i recently was talking to a friend at work about my love for melon!
she hadnt heard anything but "no rain" (ofcourse, right?!) and now is getting into them. she loves Nico, and and tells me about it all the time. that always is a good feeling hearing converted melon heads in the world. isnt it?
and to top off the new melon friend, she recently was talking to her brother and catching up on how he was doing. he told her that his roomate was giving away free cd's, shirts, etc. that he had held on to since high school. i received a great couple of holiday presents from her... an original copy of the soup album (which i had not previously had) and a vigil shirt from 2003, the black one with a trippy picture of shannon holding his hands together with a keen smile... its my favorite melon shirt!! (similar to the attached photo!)
and the quote is definitely one of my favorites: "fridays are always fresh days!"
that has to be my first thought every friday, when my (most ridiculously annoying sounding) alarm goes off...
I haven't had alot of Luck as far as getting people to listen to Blind Melon but my cousin says he likes Nico too & he has it on his Computer.My Family & everybody around me understands that I'm a Melon & they just accept it.
It is a nice feeling when you recruit new ears to melon. Last year I burned everything I had for an 18 year old family friend, he loves it, he ended up at the Charlotte show in June with us. This fall I did the same thing for my 15 and 20 year old cousins, and my 57 year old aunt. They want in on the next melon trip we take, they are always asking me if there is any new news yet on the future of Melon..... #redlight_unity_02#
I've had the gratification of converting a few people to Melon. I got my friend Joey into them about eight years ago. My friends Matt and Robbin are now faithful listeners. My dad was actually a Melon head before me. So he is the one who introduced me to Blind Melon.

patzeller: ive seen the band in MN in 2015, Denver (home) in 2016 and last night in Chicago. Despite Brad missing, the bands chemisty was the best I’ve ever seen. Awesome awesome show. Guess I’ll be heading to Edmonton in June!

jaakko: Hi there! I´m new here! Straight to the question... Is there any possibilities that Blin Melon would tour somewhere in europe someday? I need to see and hear my all time favourite band live before I die. Do I need to fly to U.S.A?

crobar: Anyone know who played the harmonica lead in the song "change" at woodstock '94?

crobar: If you watch the video on youtube for "Change" at woodstock '94, a dude is welcomed out on stage to play the lead harp. Shannon thanks him but you can't hear the name. The guy killed it and I'd like to know who he is/was. Any help is appreciated.

lisa: Blind melon take me back to a really happy time of leaving school and having the world at my feet. I am about to watch the doc. I am looking forward to seeing what the band thought of history being made and the creation of timeless music. RIP Shannon

blindmango: Hi, I'm looking for anyone with info on the promotional Soup Can from 1995. How rare are they? How much do they go for? What was in side? I cant find anything that confirms the contents or special and surprising promotional ingredients. Thanks
