He Was Great.

"I know what’s coming. I know no one beats these odds. It’s a matter of getting used to that and growing up and realizing that you are expelled from your mother’s uterus as if shot from a cannon toward a barn door studded with old nail files and rusty hooks. It’s a matter of how you use up the intervening time in an intelligent and ironic way and try not to do anything nasty to your fellow creatures." 


Rest in peace, Christopher Hitchens.

One degree Kevin.

This blog is about Kevin Martin. Kevin fronted Candlebox and is now in a band called the Gracious Few with former members of Live.

Kevin is the best rock star. For starters, his name is Kevin. He also wrote amazing songs like Far Behind, You, Don't You and The Rest of You. You, anyone?

It's been 20-odd years since my favourite rock stars kicked-off. They've found, how you say, unique ways to battle attrition: Chris Cornell collaborated with Timbaland (blecch), Eddie Vedder plays the ukulele, Kurt Cobain shot himself in the face.   

Kevin Martin, however, still rocks. There's not many industries where, in order to avoid cliché, one continues to do the same thing. If you could find a job where you were consistent AND not boring, then you've won. Kev is it.
