i'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as i always do when i hear Shannons voice. god i miss him, i wonder how Blind Melon would have turned out??? i dig the new stuff, i really do. peace and r.i.p Shannon.
Made me cry... Just like lots of Blind Melon videos do.. Shannon is truly missed and his spirit still lives on in his music. If only you knew how much you were loved Shannon! <3
@levijones79 Ummm....no, he is buried in Dayton & that is where the vigil is held. Blind Melon played in, I believe, North Lafayette at the '08 vigil. Also, just because someone makes a mistake or remembers something unclearly - does not mean they are an idiot. I'm fairly certain that you have made a mistake at some point in your life. I hope you were not treated so crudely or rudely.
A great soul that came from an even greater soul , his mom. She's got that candle lit dammit. It must hurt more than i'll ever know . More than i'll ever show.
I grew up with Shannon and went to Dayton grade school with him. He was always so friendly to me and that meant a lot to a shy skinny boy. My last memory of Shannon was when our band Ruckus was playing at a party one night and Shannon, Mike Kelsey and some Styff Kitten members came by and they played a couple of songs.Shannon had Always greeted me with my name. I stopped by his grave the other day and it still seems like yesterday . So little time.
beeautiful! i was there for my first one this past sept...2009. beautiful experience with beautiful people and the beautiful soul that is ms nel hoon. everyone should have the joy of meeting her. she makes my heart smile! planning for vigil 2010!
Because it's the Saturday closest to his b-day. It's an all day and late night vigil - no one could do it if it were not on weekend. And on Sunday have a music tribute - so it must be on a weekend.
Hey that was a beautiful vid. I am gonna be in you Frankfort Indiana Feb12th,13th,14th. Is there any way I could meet a few of you true BM Fans in person and maybe go meet Nel too. Someone HELP me!! I then want to come to the vigil '09' after going to New York City for the 911 remembrance as well. T :)
Whos has a vigil every year? This proves Shannon Hoon was an amazing artist, as well as a person. You don't see people doing a Jim Morrison Vigil do you?
Ha! That's Vernie, Shannon's Grandmother - she's playing her harmonica at the vigil last year! People always ask her to play so she brings it every year.
i was just wondering if you know if that fat cement pig is still there or not...just wonderin cause me and my buds put it out there like a year ago and it would kick ass if it still is so yeah, get back to me on that
Glad you liked it - thanks! Yeah - the pig is still theer - or at least it was at last yr's vigil in Sept. People have written all over it - notes to Shannon. I have a few pix of it actually - not close up but it's in a lot of my vigl pix - it wa swearing glasses a good bit! Message me if you want w/ your email and I can send the pix to you if you like - thanks again!
Shannon's clear, honest voice just touches my heart. Seeing his Mom wearing his necklace brings tears. I'm so glad to see that all these years later, his memory and his legacy is still alive and well.
Rock In Peace Shannon <3 we miss you :'(
