R.I.P. Elliott Smith
Tuesday October 21, 2003 – 7:57 pmFucking demons. Now they’ve taken Elliott too, and it’s not fair. :-( How could this be, how could it have come to this? He’s one of my favorite musicians ever, I put him on my last mix CD. I was thrilled to get to meet him and see him play, twice I think, but that was years ago. Weren’t we on a compilation together? I think he liked my music, and boy I know I love his. My Holler Sister Deborah’s got to be devastated, she’s the biggest Elliott fan I know. Roger Manning too, they were good friends. And Birddog too, they’d recorded together. This is too close to home!! What a fantastic talent. It’s not fair that he had to go through everything he did, and not fair that he gave us so much, but we the fans and friends couldn’t give him just a little more in return. I feel that way about every musician and anybody I love who’s ever died, but this is especially tragic.
Fucking hell.
