a whiskey to dime

like most people, i was stunned to hear about the murder of darrell abbott (the incredible guitarist for pantera and damage plan). i've read several reports about it so far... one in particular featured a quote from a friend of his saying that he lived and died by his guitar. seems like probably the only thing somewhat pleasant to be said about this tragedy. but how horrible for vinnie (his brother/drummer)... what a horrible thing for him to see. anyway. it's just so incredibly sad. i think i still have the dimebag darrell guitar pick from that pantera concert in 10th grade. after that show we listened to cemetary gates all the way home, on repeat.

i can't believe someone would engage in such a senseless crime.
