The Circle of Life.



Every day we are all reminded of death.

This past week has been tough.

First off is a man who changed the world. Steve Jobs. Dead in his 50s.

Too soon.

Then a few days later a man named Al Davis. A pioneer in football. He owned the Oakland Raiders and helped shape the NFL into the powerhouse it is today.

Maybe not too soon, but still sad.

And then today I open up my news.

There it was.

Dead in a hotel room.

40 years old.

A guy who played bass for Weezer from 1998-2001.

I'll never forget that guy who plaed bass for Weezer from 1998-2001.

Too sad. Too soon. Too bassy.

    I thought rockstahs were supposed to hit it at 27. Welsh wasn't a Weezer, he was a Geezer. Hell, I died while I was still a boy scout.

    You can be anything, next time around.
    If your karma is really, really bad, you can even be Iano next time around.
