A small tribute to Elliott Smith on his 40th birthday

elliott_smith

OK, it’s time for me to take off my Humor Hat and put on my Morose Mittens. Today would have been the 40th birthday of one Elliott Smith, who, as you probably know, died about six years ago under rather hazy circumstances.

I don’t have terribly much to say, of course, but I just thought I’d make a post to honor one of the most fantastic singer-songwriters of late. It could have been truly remarkable to see what he would have come up with next. Or now. Or in the future. So it’s been said before, but again, Elliott, rest in peace.
