I personally believe he died on 04/04! =''(
Back in the day I lived in Seattle signed to Indie label 55th street records and studio.
My label wanted me to sound like Nirvana and Pearl Jam and stay producing.
They and other labels wouldn't let do my own original music so I quit MUSIC for a long time, also me being a sound engineer I became a computer tech, which is easy for me then got burnt out.
Was forced back into MUSIC and was accepted with open arms!
I will never quit MUSIC again, it's all I do full-time. =)
And agree with Kurt's thoughts on playing live. Ooops hope my fans don't get PO. ;)
