Today I wrote an article about Chuck Schuldiner. I had the idea to do it for Chuck Schuldiner the musician, but as I read more and more and more from the multiple memorial sites are all over the web, the article ended up being about Chuck Schuldiner, the man.
And it's not that he was a great revolutionary that would change the world or anything. Being the father of Death Metal at age 18 he was just someone who enjoyed living life by being himself. So when one reads those memorials about someone who loved his family and who was loved by his family (or friends, or pets, or her/him self ...) gives you that happy/sad feeling which actually feels nice. Happy because he is well remembered and sad because it's over. And then you realize that those feelings are not for that person, but for yourself. And you want to be immortal.
Now hearing Open Casket, from the album Leprosy.
