The Wipers...For a friend(not the name of the song).
Man...the person who turned me on to this band, died yesterday. He was from Seattle, and he died at age 50, from Cancer. His name was Martin Bernier. And he was a real good dude...
It hurts even more because yesterday(Feb 3rd)would have been my mom's birthday.
Let the people who you care about, know how you feel about them, because you never know when they'll be gone. I kept in touch with Martin(through Facebook), and knew he was sick. He recently started Chemo, and i was hoping that he had some time. I kept putting off sending him a long Facebook PM, because i really didn't know what to say. For about two weeks now I've had a partially finished message that i was going to PM him...But i never finished it...For the most part we just talked about superficial stuff....and now he's gone...I should have finished that message....
Rest In Peace, Martin...
Here's a picture of Martin, with his old band. He's the guy with the beanie on.
