LeRoi, You're Not Forgotten

As a general fan of music, I was pretty livid to find out that the Grammys didn't recognize LeRoi Moore during the annual tribute section. (Click here for details.)

Fortunately fans have message boards to honor LeRoi, but it's a sad state of affairs that the Grammys forgot about him. There doesn't seem to be a good explanation of it either. Afterall, DMB has won a Grammy before and been nominated more than once. LeRoi is a well-known musician in the music world. It also goes to show how awful the Grammys really are. I couldn't watch much after watching Whitney Houston's antics.

Every day should be a good day to die

The lyrics of "You Never Know" sure are taking on a different meaning this week. Actually, I think I've always understood the meaning of this song, but it's really tough to listen to right now. At the same time, this all gives me a better appreciation of life and I can't get enough of the song.

There are lots of stupid comments out there about the future of the Dave Matthews Band. Listen ... no decisions need to be made right now. If they continue with the tour, I'm sure this is their way of heeling. If they complete the album they were working on, they're probably doing it for LeRoi. If they cancel concerts and scrap the album and then take a break ... or even break up for a few years, then that's fine. Just let the band do what it wants to do. Everyone copes with death differently, so just let them be. We can all agree that DMB will never be the same, but LeRoi can live on forever in their music ...

It'll never be the same...

I'm at a loss of words right now after hearing that LeRoi Moore has passed away. There's part of me that hopes it's just a rumor, but when more than one source has it, it's likely true. I keep thinking right now about how I was actually at his last show ... he seemed to be enjoying himself more than previous tours. For now, though, the DMB world is in mourning.

Get Well, LeRoi

No, I haven't forgotten about this blog - there's just a lot going on and I haven't had time to devote to all things Dave Matthews Band. This morning, though, I saw that LeRoi Moore is back in the hospital, so I wanted to take a minute to say: Get well LeRoi! I can't imagine seeing DMB without all five original band members out there, so I hope he gets better soon and can hit the road next summer.
