"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I never listened to to much of your music but when i do it’s with my brother. He loves you and the rest of the grateful dead. Anyways, you always seemed to find a way to do what you love to do. Play guitar, even with half of your middle finger cut off you still managed to be a legend to this very day. I think that no matter how old you got people couldn’t see that you knew what you wanted to do in life, play music. Maybe you thought that the only way to show them was to disobey the rules. You did that very well, I read that your mom sent you to the US army but you just went “AWOL” and didn’t show up for role call. Even in a place as serious as that you wanted to do what you loved no matter what it took. I admire that. i may be way to young to understand these types of things but i feel like I know stuff that people don’t know about me. That I have a voice I’m not showing, like I’m not showing what I really am what i really want. Life gets hard and it sure did for you but you pulled through still doing what you love and made history that can never be forgotten.
