I am sorry for their loss, but I have a hard time with feeling sympathy for them. Here are two guys who could have afforded the best treatment in the world...better than you or I...or any of our addicted friends for that matter...and instead, they went out like chumps.

Sad...tremendous loss...but ultimately pathetic.

I agree and disagree, Rob.

Honestly, I have more sympathy for Layne's situation than Kurt's. Kurt's suicide seemed to have at least as much to do with going out a legend at his prime as it did his addictions. Layne was just a serious junkie who lost the reigns of his life.

This is probably kind of selfish, but I wish I could hear the music they'd be making right now if they'd have moved past their issues. Same goes for Shannon Hoon.
