: : In case you haven't heard, artist/producer Gene Eugene died on Monday, apparently in his sleep. There is a very nice tribute at the tooth and nail website: http://www.toothandnail.com There is also a touching tribute at the Choir's site: http://www.thechoir.net
: : Just thought you would like to know.
: : Scott
: DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!
: death is easy to accept when it involves millions in bangledesh or just anonymous strangers across town, but why does it have to ensnare those we regard, especially when they are young. now, i am once again forced to consider my own mortality. i am only eight years younger than gene, so it's not too early for me to think about my own death. i haven't been this sad about a public figure's death since i discovered jeff buckley's music with the realization he would produce no more.
: i am especially grateful for the perfecta album; it helped me to feel sadness and bitterness and anger at a time when i really needed to. i could identify with gene's spirit through that music. i was looking forward to the possibiltiy of seeing adam again at cornerstone this year as i have never had the chance to experience the band live. DAMN!
: goodbye, gene.
:
Perfecta was excellent. Also Dig (my favorite).
But you...
How are you, bro??? It's been quite a while since we talked.
I've thought about you many times lately.
Are you in Chicago now, paper dog???
