Sublime.
Fuck, that was so tragic. Would it have changed his life if he had lived a couple more months? Would he have cleaned up and gotten his shit together? We'll never know. The news really cast a pall over that year, especially for those who already knew of Sublime. It just felt so unfair, man. We had finally come to accept Kurt's death, were still mourning Shannon's passing, and now Brad, who never got to reap the fruits of his labor, was gone. He left us a gift, and I mean one hell of a gift because it's a freaking beautiful album, but it's hard to not wonder "what if?"
Like Kurt and Shannon, he was just so wonderfully talented and beloved, the world suddenly felt very cold and slightly less bright in his absence. Just so unfair. Pour one out for Brad, he is still sorely missed.
Hard to say whether it would have changed anything. He was in a vicious cycle that's claimed many before and since, but it would have been nice to at least have him see the magic he brought into the world.
