I wasn't a huge Earl Thomas Conley fan, but I did like this song

Just heard that Mr. Conley has passed away, and I'm actually more bummed out than I would have ever guessed.

RIP Earl

but try being a kid of the 1990s. The past 25 years have sucked tremendously.

Kurt Cobain
Layne Staley
Scott Weyland
Dolores O'Riordan
Chris Cornell

And those are just the "stars" if you will. So sad.

I do remember hearing Earl Thomas Conley when I was a child, that song especially. I grew up in a country music household.

I'd add Amy Winehouse to the list. I had just started listening to her when she passed.

Hendrix dying really got to me.
