I guess it sounds kind of silly to say goodbye to someone that you didn't even know... and I feel like a little bit of a hypocrite for having poked fun of individuals who express grief over the loss of a person in the public spotlight... but I would quickly like to publicly say goodbye to Mr. Elliot Smith. Your music has struck me in ways that other music never has on multiple occasions and I am forever grateful for that. May your art live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who truly understand. --
