One of my faves from this great but short lived band. The light that burns twice as fast burns twice as bright. Peace.

Expecting them to be marginal, they ended up being one of my most pleasant live show surprises. Not just decent live, they were really good. i was at that show!! i agree - it was good. i am from pgh. |

In the words of a number of artists "Only the good die young" This was obviously before the time of Amy Winehouse.

Had a chance to see these guys live in a smallish venue just as No Rain was breaking - I think they went on to tour with the Stones later that year? Anyway, they were so good, you could really tell they were playing music light years ahead of some of the so-called jam bands they got compared to during that era. Real talents, such a profound bummer about Shannon.

But I know we can't all stay here forever,
So I want to write my words on the face of today
...And then they'll paint it
Love this tune.

It can't be helped.. Some people simply don't have the intellect to appreciate music as good as this.
It can be argued that taste and aesthetics, philosophically, have little to do with "intellect" or reason, but feel free to insult those who do not agree with your tastes if it makes you feel better. |

Otis Redding died at 26 and Bradley Nowell died at 28, so they won't be mentioned the next time some bozo writes a story about "The Curse of 27."" Exactly... I'm sure lots of musicians died at 25, and at 26, and at 28 (like Shannon), and so on... I have a feeling that if you average it all out, 27 has absolutely no significance. In fact, I would further suggest that you would just start to see a bit of a rise around 75 or 80, but that doesn't make news... |
