as most of you know…blind melon is my favorite group. 13 years ago, shannon hoon died from a drug overdose. up until 2 years ago the band was broken up. they reformed after meeting travis t. warren. from 2006 – 2008, they had one great ride…a new album (an incredible one at that) entitled, “for my friends,” a new tour and then after all of that… travis decides to quit. overworked. underpaid, so he claims. i honestly didn’t see this guy turning out like that. but as he states on his personal myspace page, “no one knows what really happened except for the members of Blind Melon.”
I still love the dude regardless so i have to respect what he and the other members have decided to do. but that doesn’t mean i can’t be pissed off and hurt…which is exactly what i am right now.

as i posted in one of their blogs…i’ll remain a fan but twice now i’ve been disappointed…and that’s hard to recover from emotionally. especially when you put so much into a band. but i realize they’re human and shit’s going to happen. it just blows my mind that it keeps happening to the same band…a band that happens to be my favorite.
have a good one, everybody.
