I remember that it was "Music Bank", a collection of all their
different videos, that I watched that very first night. Ironically enough, this was just a mere two weeks after Layne's
passing, and two weeks after my twenty-first birthday. Anyway, I was mesmorized...not only by the intensity of the music,
but by Layne's powerfully primal voice, and the fact that almost every word that came out of his mouth was the very
thing I had been trying to say and holding on the inside of me for so very long. I honestly asked myself, "Where the
hell has this music been all my life?" And I've been in love with it, ever since.
To conclude...
Had Layne's music not come into my life when it did, it might not have influenced
me to become more introspective about my life, my actions, and the way I affect the people around me. What we should
always remember when listening to his work is that first and formost, it is art. Secondly, it is an expression
of his soul, and a release of the inner torment that he felt. It was a means of communication to others, to sit up and
to pay attention to the consequences of the actions he had taken; it was meant to make people stop and think.
The question that I ask for the rest of you out there is this: DID
IT WORK?

This picture was taken two years ago...so it's not real recent, but it's the best I can
do at this point.
