I was living in Bellevue, Washington and a close friend who i’d recently had a falling out with came over to make amends and with him he brought over a copy of an album that he badly wanted me to taste.  We listened and after the last song i got a lift up to the job that i had recently quit.  i waited for the secret security guy to pass and then i stripped off the alarm code bar and walked out the front door.  Sometimes  something comes along and changes your life forever and most of the time in that town that thing was hard drugs, the kind that eventually killed the friend that brought me my first fix when he came by to make amends… lucky for me, that drug of choice were the songs of Lanegan .  Thanks for the addiction, brother Shawnee and brother Mark… my addiction is still strong and i’m still seeing through the eyes of a child…
