Now that I'm in my early 30's I believe that I've suffered from depression for  a long time.  Throughout the 90's I was in college and lived my life throughout Layne Staley the lead singer for Alice in Chains......  The music from this band is the most bleak and miserable music you can possibly listen too.  Listen to the album Dirt....#1........J Jar of Flies #2......... of course these are my rankings...... any way........  I always knew that Layne wouldn't be able to make it long because he basically preached death, pain and suffering..........  With his suffering and listening to him suffer i was able to continue on in my life...  I lived through Layne......  He was found dead several years ago from drug abuse.....  He was gone way downhill before that though..... he was disappearing into nothing, body and soul dying.....   He kept me alive.........  He died for me.....  I'm going through trouble again in my life right now and am listening to Layne again ................ once again be carries me through........  He's dead.  Just like he sang he would be......  He didn't want to die...... He knew he would though..... Sometimes we just know our destiny.....  He saved a lot of us.... and still does.  He died so I may live......... my personal Jesus.
