jeez....can you fully comprehend what he was doing to pop music at the time? I couldn't. There's a bit bullshit rock star/label shit going on here, but at the fondation Chris was doing what HE wanted and pulling us onto his (brilliant) idea of pop. Bloody genius. I, like many, think he's over looked genius, but it's not entirely true. Chris shared alot and on exactly his terms. We listened, on his terms, and are better for it. I suspect that is just fine by him.
Loydy Loydy, it would be great to have that smart CW-slide. Take your time / whatever it takes to make the dirt stick. Great video, thanks for making youtube a bit better again ;)
This guy is a trip. It's like listening to another language; you have to spend time with it to understand it

No offense to those other guys on the stage, but they're unnecessary. And wherever they are, I'm sure they agree with me.
I hope you're sleeping peacefully, Chris. You were lightening, corded lightening.

I met him twice after shows. He was sweet and very shy and totally humble. :) A beautiful soul. Amazing man/poet/musician/cool cat.
