Elliott Smith

[amityflora]

i'm so sad.. trying not to cry too much... he has been one of my favorite all time musicians for a while now. i'm shocked but not really surprised that this happened--he had such a longstanding problem with drugs and couldn't really tour because of it.. i think that the "Miss Misery" thing was probably the worst thing that happened to him--all that sudden exposure when all he wanted to do was write his quiet perfect songs.
