I've been meaning to tell Y'all that I've been wearing my vigil 09 shirt to wal-marts like I mentioned to Nel but also to home depot & weekend breakfasts. My daughter wears hers to high school alot & of coarse everyone thinks he's so hot.Maybe a few have listened to Blind Melon as a result.I don't know,yet. I have the black shirt with the letters up the side,she has the other black shirt w/ Shannons picture too & my Wife has the blue one w/ the guitar.

I'm very close to finishing A devil on one shoulder & an angel on the other.I'm in the soup tour chapter. Last night I had a dream that I was either at the Galaxie video shoot or at Kingsway studios & I was with Melons & we were just crying our eyes out watching Shannon run around.It was very distubing when I remembered crying,then remembered it was a dream & why I was crying.I listened to soup on the way to drop the Wife & kid off & I felt better.With all the madness surrounding the making of that record, it's still frigging awesome!

I feel like I should add,if I had really been there,I woulda been right there with him,indulging in whatever, if I could,& thinking,What A Great Day!! We were only crying in my dream because we actually know what happens & what day it happens.

Thought of Shannon today while getting my tat done. Just wondering what he was up to and if he realized that even after being gone for nearly 15 years he still has a positive impact on people...

on my way home i was listening to drive. i started thinking about shannon and how he really took others lives and mistakes/pain/consequences and death personally. you know.....william is that the last time im gonna look at you. that is so deep. i think about his reaction to cobains death, and what the book said about his reaction to the guys death at the party he was at. started thinkin about how every life is connected and how others actions are just a possible future reflection of yourself. every life is a lesson. you know shannon's famous quote, you use everything, you use tragedy you use everything (or something to that effect)..... i just believe that if we'd stop putting ourselves in a box and have the nerve to picture ourselves in others shoes, that a lot of pain and sadness could be avoided. we're so busy saying, that must be so awful, or bless their hearts as a defense to distance ourselves from our own mortality and realities. our fate is no further away from us than theirs was. today its them....tomorrow its me. i think im gonna start trying to picture lives as lessons,prophecy, and guidance rather than something that is separated by the boundaries of fear we have of the blatant reality that eventually will smack you in the face........the thread did say random......right?

When we put ourselves in someone elses shoes we realise that...Love Is All You Need... Can we accept people as they are?Like Shannon did/does.

Lovejoy, i can totally relate to everything you wrote.. I like your idea of taking life as a lesson or prophecy... I am a firm believer that every person you meet on this journey we call life is there and meant for a reason and every action has a reaction... we should take the past and learn from it... live, learn, love, and grow with the advice other lives have givin us!!

It can be odd writing this here, maybe there's a tread about it: What would Shannon listen to if he was still here? I mean the new stuff all around... He had a great sence of music, maybe he'd just keep listening to 60s

I thought it was really good.The entire book is done with quotes,with both old & new ones,from his Family,Friends & all kinds of people in the business.I got a good sense of how special Shannon really was/is.It definately represents both the good person he was & the not so good things that happen when addicts self-medicate.The band has said that it captures the madness surrounding Blind Melon & what a wild ride they were all on,or something like that.I learned that I can relate to Shannon in more ways than I realised. Hope you get the book soon!

Is really amazing,what a good song makes for you! Exactly. The summer the Galaxie video was released. That summer is so vivid in my mind. I remember everything about that year. I would wait all day for MTV to play that video. Me and my friend Nick would put a tape on record if we left the house. We were obsessed with that song. And it totally enhanced the summer. It wouldn't have been the same without Blind Melon! I mowed a few lawns to buy that record. It was a Digipak.
