Hey...my name is Lizzie and I have a story to tell. Ok so heres the thing...about 2 months ago I had a dream that Shannon Hoon was hanging out with my 29 year old son who is currently in a bad way emotionally. Weird huh? Well I thought so too! I have a strange habit of getting acquainted with bands only after one of the members die (except for the Dead - my first show The Beacon Theater in 1976 and last the year Jerry died in Tampa) so I got Blind Melons first album in 95 after Shannon passed. Fell in love with it and played it 100 times if once over the following years. I moved to Maine 5 years ago and really didn't play any music for a long time due to illness blah blah blah...then the dream. So I proceeded to watch everything I could find, bought ever CD (my cassette of the first recording worn to shreds) and even read the book Devil on one shoulder...trying to figure this dream out. While reading the book and many articles I became weirded out at the similarities between my son and Shannon...from looks, ADHD without meds, kung fu instead at age, incredible talent and incredible emotional pain. Just venting guys...and fearful that the same fate awaits him...
Geez...a downer huh! But heres the other thing...the really really good thing. I love you guys and I was surprised to even love Travis in those very big shoes. Are you guys still playing together and when will you be in New England?!
