Jeff Healey- R.I.P
Whenever I see this dude or hear that "Angel Eyes" song, I think of the movie Roadhouse:

Man, if you are still feeling sorry for yourself after reading that then give up. I had no idea who this guy is but he is tough as nails. More
hardcore than most people ever could be.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I always remember him with a mullet and scruffy beard, dude could play guitar though.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

He used to come to one of the McDonald's I worked at all the time. Nice guy, really friendly.

Man this is a true tragedy. Jeff overcame so much in his short life and he as well as his music will me missed.
RIP

sorry to hear that. i got much respect for the guy, even if i'm not the biggest fan of his music. good for him for leaving his mark on the world
despite the odds

He played twice at a bar I used to work at. Unbelievable guitarist. It was literally mesmerizing to watch him play. I had no I idea he had been
fighting cancer his whole life.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
