Yeah, those were some fun times...
I know everyone around the country got steamrolled by the hype, but those years, say, '86 to '91, before the hype, were a magical time when everything seemed possible.
I miss Andrew Wood. The music community here never really recovered after the dark side (heroin) crept in, they say.
But man, Pioneer Square on a Sat. nite, going from bar to bar with all the music...the bands, the atmosphere, the total disregard for the national media and record lables...it was as if this was a special place were those things didn't matter, hell, didn't even
exist.
Still have my first copy of
Temple of the Dog...remembering the day now that Cobain burned all the Madonna records
on the air down at the college radio station...
Ahh, the good 'ol days...
