The 1990s industrial rock band Filter had a hit single "Hey Man Nice Shot" about Dwyer's suicide.

Did not know. I referenced this in another thread this weekend, but my friend's band also made a track about Bud http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcg9u23KTOA

U a big tophat fan sundance?

I've known the two main guys since the late 90's. I got on stage and sang at their first show at PJs.

I know them as well. Went to most of their shows. Was that the show where they covered "rock you like
A hurricane" and everyone went up on stage?

Iceman is my favorite track btw.

I do agree that Iceman was the best. I think everyone got on stage at the last show?

I forget the name of the song that I got up there and sang, but I remember the words. Anyway, my one and only "rock star" moment

I have encountered several Synesthetes and it is pretty flipping cool.  One client in particular has problems with going to a movie.  The loud noises causes blinding white light for this person.  I couldn't imagine.

I believe the drummer for the YYYs has synesthesia.

Many composers have synesthesia. I think Skryabin did.

The Staircase (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388644/) was re-aired on the Sundance Channel recently, and soon they will air the 10-part documentary as a marathon. So if you want to DVR and experience it that way, don't click these spoilers.

Very short version: Woman found dead at bottom of staircase in her home. Husband accused of murder and put on trial. Evidence questionable. Husband's old neighbor was also found dead at the bottom of a staircase 25 years ago; he adopted that neighbor's 2 children after that death.

The real estate deal turned out to be a fraudulent Ponzi scheme and Larson lost his entire investment

  Idiot with too much time on his hands.

Spent a lot of time reading about this dude a while ago. Very odd guy. They did a documentary on him if you have some time to kill.
