elliott smith killed himself... stupid bastard. i guess we should've seen it coming given his music and lyrics. what a shame though, he had such talent. i love a lot of his songs. i'll play one on my show tomorrow in honor of him.
if you don't know him from his albums or live shows you might've heard his songs in good will hunting and american beauty.
the only news story i could find right now

No, I like Smith. I'm going to go download some of his music now. Yeah, people probably know 'Son of Sam' most.

My heart is saddened any time a fellow human being feels the need to end his life. God should decide, not man. I'm sad to say this, but hell awaits man who takes his own life.

lol religion is just false hope so that people wont kill themselves. I cant stand it when people say committing suicide is a sin, and they are gonna go to hell. Can you imagine how shitty their life was to make them commit suicide, then to top it off you send them to hell, yeah great fucking religion.

click for an article that doesn't suck.
i'm shocked by this news, even if i shouldn't be. interesting note: one of his songs was used for the suicide attempt scene in royal tennenbaums.

but only the famous touch so many lives, which is why we post topics about them. which is why we take the time to care about them, even if we never knew them personally. we don't take the time to mourn the loss of everyone that passes every day, but we do for the unique, to help balance things out however selfishly, so that we can appreciate more those still living.

all my friends are coming out of the woodwork and mentioning this guy's death. I've never hear of him or heard his music.
I definately don't mean to sound insensitive though, when anyone takes their own life it's an awful thing
