What a talented dude, I love his music... tons of heart.
Yeah, way sad.
Does anyone else think its ironic that he died of lung cancer and the memorial photo on his site has him smoking a cig?....

i don't think it is ironic at all. it would be more so if he was portrayed without one if he was a serious smoker.
imho ofcourse.

I suppose. I just think its sad. Its like having a noose hanging in the background if the guy hung himself.

why? a noose is far more negative. definite..
if he enjoyed the smokes, or at least helped him through his troubles it is not so bad to show him like that?

lets agree to disagree :)

no.
but i do disagree to agree
err.. wait a minute..

very sad, i met him a few times and used to see chris play at antone's in austin, tx many years back, he was a very tragic person with many serious vices that all made his music sound like a beat up old pickup truck rolling down a dirt road.... he may, now, finally have the piece of mind he'd always been searching for...
bye chris.

very sad.
i also saw him live several times and chatted a bit after his shows here in minneapolis. he was amazing as a solo performer. chilling.dirt floor is a masterpiece. i've kept that album within reach since it came out. timeless, mortal music.
