Day 3: A song by an artist no longer living

I am glad this prompt came up. I have been thinking of Andrew Wood a lot these last few days. Not as common a name as it ever should have been, but if you ever heard "Would?" by Alice in Chains, that was about Andrew. As was Soundgarden's “Reach Down” and “Say Hello 2 Heaven." He was influential beyond his years. Wood was originally in a band called Malfunktion, and it could be reasonably argued that their they were the beginning of what became grunge, though Sub Pop said they weren't "grunge enough." Andrew was most of that, infusing his hippie rock and roll with a massive glam edge. After Green River, another prop-grunge band, broke up, a bunch of the members joined Andrew as Mother Love Bone.

I still remember him, more than 30 years later. He was mesmerizing on stage, just took the room, and had fun with it. God, he was good! Bowie and Mercury were his heroes, and he didn't ape them, he added their styles to his own. He did everything full on, and his stage persona was whatever he felt like that day. Costumes, make up, whatever he felt like. And he made it work. Talented and gifted, he was a multi-instrumentalist as well as a singer and writer. Just fucking talented. And a damn good guy, always trying to get people to laugh, to smile. He took his music seriously, but that was about it.

He started on drugs when he was very young, and had been in rehab multiple times. In 1990, Mother Love Bone had recorded their debut album, Apple, and Andrew wanted to be clean for the release, for the tour. He went into rehab again, and they thought it stuck. Three months clean. Then, one night he wasn't, and three days later he was dead of an overdose. He should have been great. No offense to Kurt, but he should have been the face of an entire sea change in music. Instead, he was an inspiration for songs mourning his loss, some quite angry. I get that. I mourn him, but I am still pissed at him for dying on me. Not fair, but there I am.

This is "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns," which is actually two songs. "Chloe Dancer" was never released as a stand along track, which is a shame as it is a beautiful piece of music, but "Crown of Thorns" was on Apple. The combination was on the Singles soundtrack, and brought Mother Love Bone to light for the rest of the world. "Chloe" is about breaking up with his girlfriend over his heroin use.

"And a dream like this must die..."

"Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns," Mother Love Bone.

Day 3: A song by an artist no longer living.

I'm probably blowing one I could use for covers day or something like that, but I love this rendition of this song, and for people of my generation, we look back at this last 30 seconds of this performance with almost a deep sadness and regret.

But it's also a cover by a dead artist of an artist even longer dead, so please enjoy.

R.I.P. Mark. This album was listened to a lot in the 90’s

One of the advantages of being old was becoming of drinking age when grunge was taking off in the PNW. I got to see a lot of these bands in little clubs, and worked sound and lights on some of them. Screaming Trees was a favorite. We had a little wake for Mark when he passed.

Shout out to @Mr_bogey for introducing me to Karl Wallinger’s music, even if it had to be postmortem.
Also, welcome back to the challenge 😜

This warms my heart and my soul. I love this prompt because I love to pay tribute to artists. I usually use Elliott Smith or Warren Zevon but today, I knew I'd be using Karl.

I love that my self-indugent thread of tribute to him and his music landed another fan.

Now, if you'll excuse me, Karl and I have a boat to get off of.
