    working at a small Vietnamese restaurant in Louisiana, a guy came in and told me he had $7 to buy something to eat and asked if he could afford anything to eat there and I said yes, and he told me that I reminded him of the bee girl in this video and it made my whole day. when I brought him the food I could tell he hadn’t had hot food in quite some time. I played this song for him over the speaker and it made him so happy. He ended up telling me he was chronically homeless after serving in the military and that this song reminded him of better times. I hope you’re doing okay man, wherever you are. I wish you many warm bowls of Pho and plenty more jam sessions

    As an inner city African American from Philadelphia who grew up only listening to rap I can honestly say that This kind of music speaks to the soul. Such a tragic, yet beautiful account of being an outcast searching for acceptance, yearning to be amongst other's like yourself... I am still on that journey to this day. Thank you Shannon for blessing us with this masterpiece.... Rest easy

    This song will always hold a special place in my heart. This was the ringtone on my daughter's phone. It was her theme song as she battled cancer from the age of 14. She passed at 20 and this song seems to play at very special times. A few years after her passing I was helping her favorite pediatric nurse to buy a car. At the moment we closed the deal and shook hands with the salesman, that opening riff played on the dealership's sound system. I just looked at the nurse and said "Jen approves"

He watched tv for a week , waiting for the video to come back on. When it did , he jumped and hit " record " on his VCR. I think he wore out that tape. I bought him the CD for Christmas. Some great memories, riding in his car listening to Blind Melon.

      What does it mean to be "rejected"? If we have joy, surely sadness will reject us. But if we have enough joy, and other weapons, we can break through the sadness that is holding others down... So maybe... We do make a "fool" of ourselves... Knowing that it ain't foolish at all. Edit: My point is fuck rejection. Reject rejection and sadness with joy and love and peace my brother!

      I just came back here for the millionth time after listening to send me on my way for the millionth time. I hear these two songs and think of my favorite band Pearl Jam and will honestly say 90s rock>60s rock. I love my classic rock too and Pink Floyd created arguably some of the best music ever, along with zeppelin and the doors and the animals and more, but I still say the 90s music was better and some of it apparently timeless as well. Who knew at the time this little catchy song no rain or send me on my way was actually everlasting?

      Underrated? They weren't underrated when this came out, this was on full rotation even here in Europe. They were up and coming and pretty massive at that point. Overdosing then did it's thing...anything after this vocalist just was smack dab in the middle but not exceptional, unfortunately.

    I saw Blind Melon opening for Lenny Kravitz in Paris in 1993...and Shannon Hoon's energy was so atomic that he blew Lenny right off the stage. The Blind Melon set rocked the house so hard, then Lenny came out all cool and jazzy and he was already outshined by his opening act. I remember thinking at the time that there's no way anyone can blast that hard and that Shannon wouldn't live very long.

      ​@@Day-ZDuke Hey man love your message, thank you. My dad was my Best Friend too, he taught me what it's like to be a man, and how to be a man people can rely on.
      Cherish those memories with him cuz lemme tell you, one day the potential to create more will be gone a lot more suddenly than you could ever expect. I kept telling myself "ehhhh, I'll find moments to make up for it" then one day he got pneumonia being a heavy smoker his whole life and bam, within 3 days he was gone.
      whatever small moments you can procure, do so, cuz in the end it's only for your own benefit and trust me without doing so might just hurt you enough to do something stupid.
