Layne Staley Presumed Dead

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/14...?headlines=true

This is really fucking sad news. I was really hoping for Alice In Chains to get back together and do a little something, but it looks like it isn't going to happen now.

Sad would be the people who idolize that person.

Yeah heared it. AIC is one of my fav bands. To bad the drugs controlled his life to much.

Dirt was a great album and unplugged was amazing too.


RIP.

I saw them a couple times, it was good.

this really wasn't too shocking (That's the February 1996 cover of Rolling Stone).

I know yet another "Dead Layne Staley" post...




"Don't Follow"

Hey, I ain't never coming
Home
Hey, I'll just wander my
Own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow

Hey you, you're livin'
Life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that
Bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake
Me round now
I get so lost and don't
Know how
And it hurts to care, I'm
Going down

Forgot my woman, lost my
Friends
Thinks I'd done and where
I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors
Cold
See my face it's growin'
Old
Scared to death no reason
Why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I
Said
Read the page it's cold
And dead

Take me home

Great singer, he made wonderful music.

Goddamn stupid human.

What a waste of talent.

Whether or not you liked his music is irrelevent.
Sometimes I get cavalier about death, "It's not me! who cares?!" but then there is a moment of clarity. A piece of me imagines him/her as my brother/sister, or cousin. What if?
Is their music so important now?
Life and morality is a fragile thing, it's a shame to see it brought short.
Even the gifted die. Infants. Innocents. Shame.
I am guilty of making light of death (check the friendly fire thread) but passing it on as good riddence is worse.

It sickens me to think those that hate him or dislike him shrug it off to a darwin experience.

Shakespeare was a opiate addict, Hemingway was a drunk, Worhol was a acid addict.

flippant about those people?, you can kindly fuck off
