elliot smith kills himself
he was found yesterday in his apartment by his girlfriend, a self inflicted knife would to the heart. this makes me feel bad, he was a good musician, i remember when joe lane first played some of his music for me. joe pointed out how tough he looked on the cover of the record "either/or," tattooed and wearing black and shaggy hair. then i listened to it, the mellowness and clever lyrics were appealing. i ended up buying most all of his records, and they were especially nice to listen to when i was travelling, i listened to "hanging around at the lost and found" many a time on long busrides.
if the response to hearing of the death of johnny cash was the need for a good whiskey drunk, then upon hearing of the untimely death of elliot smith i feel imbued with a craving for a tall boy of pabst blue ribbon.
