welcome everyone Adam the woo here right
0:05
here in the Dayton Cemetery right
0:07
outside Lafayette Indiana and I'm here
0:09
with my sister and she was just
0:11
commenting about the
0:13
clouds up in the sky there which is
0:16
usually where clouds
0:18
reside and she was thinking man I hope
0:20
it doesn't rain and that's an
0:22
interesting ironic tie in cuz we are
0:25
actually in the graveyard and right over
0:28
there is the grave site of the singer of
0:32
Blind Melon who their famous song most
0:36
popular song that most people know was a
0:38
song called no rain so how ironic and
0:41
interesting is it that there's actually
0:42
rain clouds on the horizon it's my
0:46
second channel daily blog channel it's
0:49
the daily woo this particular place is
0:53
actually very interesting not because my
0:55
sister is joining me on this excursion
0:57
but I'm also Excursion into my mind my
1:01
very first memory of a concert that I
1:04
went to was Blind Melon at the edge
1:06
concert field in Orlando Florida opening
1:09
up for Lenny Kravitz in 1993 that was my
1:12
first Rock Concert Experience so I
1:16
thought it fitting to actually pay visit
1:18
pay an homage and pay my respects to
1:22
Shannon Hoon the lead
1:23
singer and his final resting place is
1:26
actually right over here
1:42
Richard Shannon Hoon was born in
1:42
1967 and died in 1995 of a drug overdose
1:46
at the age of 28 years old another rock
1:49
star taken way too young way too soon
1:52
people have actually left some little
1:54
momentos out here as well
2:06
someone has left this rock and they've
2:06
written we still feel it talking about
2:10
the music and how it's inspired insired
2:12
them in their
2:14
lives some guitar
2:16
picks my sister was actually commenting
2:19
a minute ago on these oranges what do
2:21
you think these oranges are
2:24
for do you have any idea what these
2:26
oranges are for Faith I have no idea
2:27
they must signify something
2:30
what kind of significance do you think
2:33
these oranges have it's actually on a
2:36
wooden heart and there's little oranges
2:39
do oranges signify anything as far as
2:41
paying respects or maybe it's just a
2:44
Shannon Hoon Blind Melon thing that I'm
2:46
not realizing here's a rock here Blind
2:48
Melon someone has written the name
2:51
here's a letter which is actually water
2:54
logged tattered and torn you can barely
2:57
even read it someone expressing their
3:00
thoughts and their kind
3:09
words got a ticket stub in here oh wow
3:09
what year is that
3:12
from Neil
3:14
Young and a
3:16
cockroach someone has left a cockroach
3:19
1993 and a Neil Young sticker I wonder
3:22
if Blind Melon may have actually opened
3:23
up for Neil Young cuz that's the year I
3:25
saw him was in 93
3:37
everybody has their own reasons for
3:37
leaving certain items out
3:41
here definitely very interesting to be
3:43
standing here right here at the grave
3:46
site of Shannon Hoon who also like Axel
3:50
Rose was also from Lafayette Indiana in
3:52
fact Axel Rose became friends with
3:55
Shannon Hoon and Shannon Hoon actually
3:57
performed and did some vocal recordings
4:00
on the album use your Illusion 2 which
4:03
actually gave him a jump start and gave
4:05
Blind Melon kind of a household name as
4:07
well as a song No Rain remember that
4:09
song Faith you want to sing it for us
4:13
all I could say is that my life is
4:16
pretty plain I like watching
4:21
the I thought it was flowers for a
4:23
minute but puddles will eventually turn
4:25
into flowers that was their biggest hit
4:27
off the very first album which was a
4:29
great
4:30
album there's no
4:33
rain hopefully there's gonna be no rain
4:36
so this has been my little omage my
4:38
dedication to one of the first memories
4:42
I ever had of any sort of rock and roll
4:45
show this gentleman right here performed
4:47
on stage put on a great show it's crazy
4:50
to think that another rock star taken
4:52
too young you know the whole they always
4:54
say there's that whole four or five
4:56
groups of people who died age 27 he made
4:58
it a year past that
5:00
at age 28 before passing away of a
5:02
cocaine overdose very sad but if you're
5:06
ever in Indiana you can actually come
5:07
out here to the Dayton Cemetery right
5:09
outside of Lafayette Indiana and pay
5:13
your respects as well to Shannon hon all
5:16
right we're going to go say goodbye
5:18
