After I read in David de Sola's book about how, in his final years, Layne would go to this comic book store near his condo and just shuffle around, high on dope and look at cool stuff, knock things over and then buy whatever caught his attention... my heart was hurting so much that I needed to watch this again to cheer myself up. There's just something about that scene I think we can all relate to cause when you're in this really dark place, stuff from your childhood and childlike things can make you feel better in a way that no drug can. I don't know if I can really describe why picturing him in that store just is do immensely sad but I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. It's like, he had nothing to live for at that moment but he still tried to make himself feel a bit better.

Poor Layne, he was keeping it real. But he was thin, pale, and you can really see how his teeth have shifted. He had a short, hard life. Love Jerry Nona, too much.

[@joejones9520]

layne knew freedom in a way most of us have no chance of..he did what he wanted with money he earned solely from his talents and hard work not from working for the man.

[@kat3871]

@@joejones9520 Rotting away in your 20s trapped in neverending suffering is hardly "freedom." By 1996 he was 27/28 years old but looked and moved like a very ill, frail 90 year old. Oh yeah, he really experienced "freedom." He was under contractual obligations which also is a lot worse in many ways than "working for the man."

Anybody wish they could quantum leap back and help Layne in some way? Someone with a voice like that only live 34 years is simply tragic.

"Grind" is the very first video I ever downloaded. I had to set it up to download all day while I was at school, by the time I got home I had a whole 30 second clip. Crazy how I'm sitting here 25 years later, older now than Layne ever would be, enjoying this old classic I played non-stop growing up. No wonder the 90s are "cool again," it was a glorious time.
