On March 19, 1990, the music world lost Andrew Wood, lead singer of the Seattle band Mother Love Bone. Just before the release of their debut album, he overdosed on heroin. The remaining band members went on to form Pearl Jam, but I can't help wondering how things would have turned out if he hadn't died. The album Temple of the Dog was released in his honor, and supposedly the Alice In Chains song 'Would?' and the Soundgarden song 'Jesus Christ Pose' were written about him. He is now buried in Bremerton. I always liked Mother Love Bone and wish he hadn't died so young. It's hard to believe it's already been 17 years.
