Sad that he died the way he did, because I always loved Alice in Chains, but he had to know that this would kill him eventually.

I plan on using Staley as an example to my son who, though only 6, will learn the perils of drug use when he grows older and becomes interested in music.

Im pretty sure teeth falling out of your face and crapping yourself should suffice as a deterrant (worked for me when I was warned of drugs) so I hope my kids are smart enought o avoid that crap like the plague.

Personally, AIC has a sound that transcends time. Could be that im getting older and hanging onto music past its time, but I truely believe AIC could be a sound future generatings will listen to.

The River of Deceit
Lyrics by Layne Staley

My pain is self-chosen
At least, so The Prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

The River of Deceit pulls down, uh huh
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

The River of Deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen
Down, oh down

I agree, they're kinda like Zeppelin in that sense. A unique sound that was all thier own - often imitated, never duplicated.
