You're right, they are good guys.  I'll probably out myself by posting this but I don't give a fuck.  These are the end times and I'm drunk on margaritas right now.  
 
	I posted this on the old (shit) site, but my brother was a roadie for them, and when he was killed by a drunk driver, they wrote a song for him.  (BTW, I'm sitting at home right now, so no irony, ok...) Probably the most depressing song they ever wrote, I've listened to it maybe 3 times ever, it literally describes his death, but in a peaceful way.
 
	It's such a vicious circle , my brother is the one who got me hooked on them, and then they're chronicling his death...  Yeah, my head is pretty fucked up right now...  
 
	But fuck, I can put on Broadway or Ray Charles or If My Heart Was a Car, or Doreen (the original bluegrass version) or In the Satellite Rides a Star and crank that shit up.  I really quit listening after my brother died, but I'll catch up.  Life rolls on, but I know someday I'll see them live again and shake their hands and connect the circle once again.  And tears will be shed, just as they are now, sorry...
 
	(ETA: this song is what set me off, nothing to do with my brother but it just hits me in the heart...)
