Tragedy struck Blind Melon right in the middle of their 1995 tour. Hours before a concert in New Orleans, the musicians found their beloved singer dead from an overdose. The real tragedy is that the band was soaring and had the potential to climb even higher. So it was a very difficult decision for the band to consider playing together again. It had been 12 years since they had played Blind...

Great rock show last Saturday night at the Hiro Ballroom. The place was packed and the energy was pretty electric. I saw Blind Melon when I was in college in a bar with 12 people. I was the only one who knew the tunes. They must have thought I was some kind of freak singing along with every tune they played from a record that had just come out weeks before. I caught them three or four times ove...

It wa...

I am crazy about Blind Melon’s music, and it is beyond difficult for me to articulate any further than that. There is no combination of subject and predicate that can say it better than “I love them.” Once something really hits me on that soul level, I lose the ability to speak about it with impartiality. I’m not even gonna try. The loss of Shannon Hoon in 1995 was nearly as painful to me a...

If I had to choose one song to be played at my funeral it would be Blind Melons Change. What would yours be. What song best represents you as a whole

Ah, the love song. A staple of the pop song. Food, another favorite, but a little less represented in the annals of the pop lexicon. But what happens when the love of a person short circuits, and the infatuation and hunger beget the deepest, most unmentionable of human faults - the desire to eat the one you love - or perhaps, just the one your trapped on a dessert island (etc.) with.So when ...

Chase the albino cricket had a plan. He knew he had to get to Indio for the Cricketchella fest. You see, Chase loved live music & Cricketchella was the place to be for music. Plus, all his friends & cousins would be there. Ella Anne, Izzie, Debbie, Lucas, Amber & Craig to name but a few. But HOW ??? He lived in Pennsylvania & Indio was all the way across the country. He went to his mot...

I'll be damned if I don't have a few nightmares tonight. First I figured it would be due to the gent at the bottom of the post - Mr. Ed Gein. The impetus for the characters of Norman Bates, Leatherface & Buffalo Bill... also fodder for multiple songs including one from a band I adore - Blind Melon. Came to also be a thought of mine after watching a video from the outtakes of 120 minutes.As I...
