Common sense is indeed rocket science to most knee jerking responders with no factual basis and ego driven emotionalism. If you want to attempt to understand Chris I recommend Eddie Vedder's soundtrack to the movie that was written for him by a lyrical genius. Oh wait lol the "fact" someone wrote an entire album on his life would make him a "folk hero." Perhaps a suicidal folk hero but a folk hero just the same. He turned his back on society and normality to his demise not unlike, as you stated, many before him. When I think about that vagabond poet, I feel sadness.. Because he gave up. Thank you for enduring these half wit personal attacks for someone who died a horrific death who never asked for anything. And they still shame him!
