Poop Man Bob Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Ah, fuck me. This sucks. His music was perfect for moody evenings alone. On a completely selfish note, I'm sad that I'll never be able to see him perform live. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

and now you choke Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Was listening to his music just last night and I found out by word this morning. He was an extremely talented songwriter and musician who I was anticipating following throughout a lifetime. I'm sorry to see him go, surely short of his prime. There's no doubt his words will be sent out to the train lines...R.I.P soul brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIPHER_one Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 and even though his death is just as impactful as Kurt Cobain's, it will not nearly be felt as much. which is unfortunate, yet comforting in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poop Man Bob Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 http://members.shaw.ca/furnace404/smith.jpg'> Drink up baby, stay up all night With the things you could do, you won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days Do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before that you don't want around any more That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still RIP.
