Shannon Hoon's passing was just such a shame and such a waste.  I destroyed the first album by overplaying it as much as I did.  Then when "Soup" came out I could not believe it.  That album is just flawless... just absolutely perfect.  Nico has some good stuff on it as well. 

I did get the most recent album with the new dude and the band sounds tight as ever, but it's just not the same.

I was supposed to see them in concert the week before he died.  Still bothers me to this very day.

So wish i was older so i could have seen Shannon in his day.  That would have rocked.  but if i had a time machine, first stop is the late 60's then the early 90's and then repeat MMJ RED ROCKS SHOWS again!

I concur on Soup.  I really actually love Three is A Magic Number as my favorite Blind Melon tune.  Because i was working at a children's theatre in high school and junior high and we performed School house rock tunes one summer.  it was fucking amazing.  the kids i were the summer counselor for sang three is a magic number.  So me being the nerdy 15 year old that i am brought in some Blind Melon to listen to while we ate lunch and stuff.  The kids loved hearing the rock and roll version of Three is a magic Number.  Good times. good memories.  Miss being innocent and young.  And i 'm not even thirty yet. But i'm close.
