1. And poor Mike Starr, who never got over it and died last month.

What a double tragedy.

2. Weird -- I was just listening to AIC's "Dirt" this morning.

3. It's also the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death back in 1994.

Both great musicians. Both died too young.

6. LOVE his voice.

Gone way too soon. :(

9. His was one of the most distinctive of the "grunge" era to me

You knew right away, from the first note, it was him singing.

EDIT: typo in title

11. Absolutely.

I have their Unplugged set, and listen to it often because I love their sound stripped down sooo much. Great mix of talent there. It all just clicked.

7. that SOB kicked me in the head back in 1993

ok, so it was when he dove into the crowd at Lollapalooza 93 in Charlotte.

It was one of the Top Ten Days of My Life

8. Jeez... never thought I'd envy someone a head injury...

:P

10. RIP. So sad the music wasn't enough.

And thoughts to Starr's family. My bass gently weeps.
