Hmmmm...my guess is that you are not so much into music? I could be wrong, but I found it facinating to learn about his legacy and the impact he made. I also love music and to learn about great and obscure music I might not come across any other way. I found myself researching his history for 1.5 hrs. He and his music truly is iconic and to be remembered.

Sorry it did not meet your standards. Another show, another time.

Thanks for the introduction to Elliott Smith and his music!! It appears I was graduating from High School when he was born and in the throws of finding a job after graduating with a delayed college degree, when he recorded his first album. I had children and family first then college.

All this to say, that I love music and learning of new music and musicians. Albeit, greatly sad to me that such a fine musician, talented beyond his years is tragically gone. Some things I don't understand. What a legacy he has left to all of us. Such a gift.

Thank you, Think Out Loud...this was definitely a surprise unwrapping. I have just spent 1.5 hrs researching his history/legacy and have enjoyed every minute.
