If you have never heard of Mother Love Bone before, here are three main things that summarise their short history.
Fact 1:
They were one of the pioneer bands of the Seattle grunge scene of the late 80s/early 90s.
Fact 2:
Their exuberant lead singer Andrew Wood died of a drug overdose at the age of 24 right before the band was due to release their debut album in 1990.
Fact 3:
The band’s bassist, Jeff Ament, and lead guitarist, Stone Gossard, went on to found Pearl Jam and went on to achieve critical and commercial success.
Most of what remains of Mother Love Bone is the 1992 compilation album, Stardog Champion. The world will never know what they might have achieved, but the sad story of Mister Faded Glory is all that we are left with.

My dad came to Singapore as a young boy with absolutely no money and worked incredibly hard his whole life. With a combination of sheer hard work, luck and some help from the Big Guy Upstairs, in just one generation, he managed to break out of the poverty cycle.
I will always remember his tenacity, endurance and determination and will never forget that my dad chose to suffer so that my siblings and I didn’t have to.
Rest in peace, dad. May you find peace and happiness in the life to come.

Hello
Most folks who visit random notes
seem to hang around for about
9.553 minutes on average.
My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
