“David Bowie, Prince, Chris Cornell, and Johnny Cash are forming the most heavenly garage band right now.” (Noah Rubin, in comments on Youtube.)
Grief, longing, ecstasy – strangely related.
“Life is gone with just the spin of a wheel…”
the most heavenly garage band

So so sad. So many of his lyrics are dark but beautiful poetry. Thanks for the post.

I saw him in a Chapel Hill club in ’88 when Soundgarden was just breaking out. He was mesmerizing. I thought at the time – this is what it must have been like to see Morrison or Plant in his prime. No preening or posing – just incredible magnetism and intensity. And that voice. Saw him again a year later in San Fran in much bigger venue and he still dominated the stage. Terribly terribly sad. Nobody will – or can – ever sound like him.

Amazing that you saw him so early in his career, Todd – xo
