I’ve thought long and hard about this.
All those times I couldn’t fall asleep,
this is what I thought about.
If it was possible to bring just one
person back from the dead, who would I
choose to bring back?
Would it be some revolutionary fuck, like
Emma Goldman? Would it be a dead grandparent,
cousin, a distant relation that I never met?
Would it be a dead celebrity? Would I bring
back Kurt Cobain or even Marylin Monroe?
Would it be a friend who committed suicide?
No, that’s just cruel.
I would bring back Elliott Smith.
The world needs more singers like Elliott.
His music calms me down when I’m angry. It
makes me happy when I’m sad. It gives me a
feeling of content, unlike anything else.
Theres something about Elliott Smith that I
absolutely love.
Oh, and I figure if he comes back from the
dead we can all figure out, once and for all,
if he really committed suicide or he was murdered.
I’m leaning on the latter.
Besides, if he comes back, I can finally see him play live.
