  1. Sometimes it's hard to concentrate these days. I was thinking about the history of this building and the Bowie history. So I started to think about that and my mind began to wander. It's not a good...

    So I haven't really been talking about some things and I kind of... now it feels like it's conspicuous because I lost a really close friend of mine, somebody who...(applause).

    I'll say this too, I grew up as 4 boys, 4 brothers and I lost my brother 2 years ago tragically like that in an accident and after that and losing a few other people, I'm not good at it, meaning I'm not...I have not been willing to accept the reality and that's just how I'm dealing with it (applause starts).

    No, no, no, no

    So I want to be there for the family, be there for the community, be there for my brothers in my band, certainly the brothers in his band. But these things will take time but my friend is going to be gone forever and I will just have to...

    These things take time and I just want to send this out to everyone who was affected by it and they all back home and here appreciate it so deeply the support and the good thoughts of a man who was a ... you know he wasn't just a friend he was someone I looked up to like my older brother.

    About two days after the news, I think it was the second night we were sleeping in this little cabin near the water, a place he would've loved. And all these memories started coming in about 1:30am like woke me up. Like big memories, memories I would think about all the time. Like the memories were big muscles.

    And then I couldn't stop the memories. And trying to sleep it was like if the neighbors had the music playing and you couldn't stop it. But then it was fine because then it got into little memories. It just kept going and going and going. And I realized how lucky I was to have hours worth of...you know if each of these memories was quick and I had hours of them. How fortunate was I?! And I didn't want to be sad, wanted to be grateful not sad. I'm still thinking about those memories and I will live with those memories in my heart and I will...love him forever.

  2. Poor man
  3. Indeed.

    I am surprised that something like this got to me as it did. It made me reflect a bit more. It also made me realize how spoiled (lucky?) I have been throughout my life (almost 44 years) as I've never had to grieve the loss of someone close to me. Sure, grandparents have gone, but it was their time, I suppose. My own father went at a very young age but I was too way young to understand...to realize what had happened. I hope I can go as long as possible without having to feel such a loss. Losing someone very close - especially before their time. I guess we all do.

    Yes. There are only two ways: either you lose "many someones" throughout your life or... it's you who goes before your time and make those around you grieve. Life is pain either way, so there's only one way out: try to make the most out of it until one of these 2 moments come and knock on your door.

    Which shows did you listen to, Ronnie? I always enjoy a good SG bootleg.
  10. they were Hyde Park, Irving Plaza from 2012 (very good audience the latter) and Pinkpop 1992, unluckily incomplete even though the most complete i ever found.
    plus Temple of the Dog in Seattle first night
  11. Mike was on Fallon sitting in with the Roots the other night....each time they went to commercial Mike would be riffing like wild....he also spoke briefly about his new book...
  12. rumour time:

    ...it’s understood Pearl Jam is at the top of the queue to play at the NRL grand final on October 1. Although the league refused to ratify it when contacted by Foxfooty.com.au on Wednesday, music industry sources have confirmed the American band is locked in for the biggest day on the football calendar, but won’t play any additional Australian shows.
