I've been reading a bit more about them lately and listening to stuff I hadn't really listened to in years. Brings back so many great high school memories. I think I got on the radio talking about him the day he killed himself.
I look back at all the great bands from that era, and I don't think any new bands really come close to what some of those bands were like. I think the Internet, celebrity obsession, and pop culture has sucked all the mystery out of bands now. The days when you'd hear about a band coming to town through the local paper or music paper, or possibly MTV, or a magazine, and all you could do is watch whatever videos you had and look at photos and read articles and play their stuff nonstop... what a glorious time that was! We know everything in the blink of an eye now. There's no mystery about bands anymore. There's no looking at bands on stage as if they were beamed in from another planet for a night to give you the goods. I still love seeing shows, but those times when you're growing up and seeing shows the first time, seeing the bands you idolize (especially if you were in a band in high school, which I was), spreading your wings and just being yourself, man, those were the best times ever.
