Bono's shades said:
I feel like I should listen to some Crowded House right now, but I'm afraid it would make me even sadder.
I actually want to listen to their stuff, funny as it sounds. I'm just a bit uneasy about
watching anything of the band's that I have on tape right now. I saw their "Something So Strong" video earlier this evening, and it just weirded me out like nothing else, so I don't know if I want to watch anything else of theirs right now.
Oddly enough, last night before I heard the news, I was listening to a bunch of Split Enz/Crowded House related stuff. Then I went onto this one board related to the band and everything, and I heard the news, and...oh, my god. It just floored me. It's still not fully registering.
This is the second time someone from a band I love has died so young and so tragically-there was Howie Epstein from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers back in February 2003, and now there's this. And that just really sucks.
I can't imagine what the rest of his band members must be going through right now...I just feel so bad for them, and for his family. And considering that this happened to a friend of my family's last year, this is just hitting a little too close to home, which doesn't help.
It's just so crummy, it really, really is.
