Of course, Kong nor I would know. We were busy serving in the USN overseas, fighting in the Persian Gulf, and working ourselves through college, pursuing our electrical engineering degrees. A man child was born somewhere in the midst of all that. FM radio has held no real appeal to us for a very long time.
I say all this to point out that I now love Alice In Chains. I discovered AIC in September while thumbing through youtube and
Kong is not happy about my interest in AIC and finds them very depressing. Check out their MTV Unplugged appearance.
I don't understand my obsession because AIC IS depressing. The lead singer, Layne Staley, became helplessly addicted to heroine and died from an overdose in 2002. Horrible.
Anyho, this is a excellent concert if you can ignore the swearing and the complete hedonism. I love acoustic guitar. I can't help it. Hear the whine? Pass the cheese please.
I feel very cool indeed to be friends with Layne Staley's first cousin. She was a Seattelite living in Japan when we were there, and Layne was still alive. She told me he was her cousin, and I didn't really know who that was and wished she was related to Leonardo Dicaprio instead.
