有一篇写Blind Melon的文章，叫作“歌唱糟糕的每一天——献给已被遗忘、将要被遗忘或根本未知的Shannon Hoon和他的Blind Melon”—— 题目很长，有点文艺腔，但却说出了十几年前那一场轰轰烈烈的死的本质。
初中时，我听到的第一张Blind Melon的唱片（确切地说是打口CD），是那一年发行的《Soup》。唱片封面上是一个正在撮着嘴喝汤的满脸胡子的男人，乐队的名字漂在汤的上面，很怪异的感觉，甚至弥漫着某种淡淡的忧伤。
前一年，Grunge之王开枪自杀，Grunge结束了；失去了Grunge这根顶梁柱的“Alternative”音乐大厦一时间风雨飘摇。虽然大家依然在开演唱会、巡演、发唱片，可是，一年了，人们都活在这个人死去的阴影里。Shannon Hoon在自己的额头上画了一个问号，想问问这到底是为了什么。
人们好像在期待着某个人能站出来结束这一切。
汤是“有毒”的。《Soup》发行后不久，Shannon Hoon吸毒过量而死，这似乎标志着“Alternative”大厦彻底的坍塌。
“Alternative”当年是多么让人心生无限憧憬和期待的词汇啊。
Skinned
I'll make a shoe horn outta your shin,
I'll make a lamp shade of durable skin
And oh, don't you know i'm always feelin' able
When i'm sittin home here carvin' out your navel
I'm justa sittin' here carvin' out your navel
When will i realize that this skin i'm in,
Hey, It isn't mine
And when will the kill be too much meat for me to hide
OHhhh, Hey i could really use a couple of hands,
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, and don't you know that i'm caught here in the middle
Making Rib Cages in the coffee table
I'm just makin' em in the coffee tables.
And when will i realize, that this skin i'm in,
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find
Anymore
Because you know i cannot,
But oh how hard i try,
But this is just the shape i'm in
Because i know i cannot
But oh how hard i try,
But this is just the shape i'm in
