[twidildydum]

what happened to Chris' back?

[magnoliahead27]

sorry i've been gone for quite some time from the forum, but when i heard about Chris I cried for the first time in 10 years, Spacewolf lives on.....in a galaxy far far away

[gonefishing]

Still no word?

[burgerqueen]

Publicly, I doubt there ever will be.

[ferris wheel junkie]

i heard a santigold song earlier this week and nearly cried

[Tim Simmons]

really?

[ferris wheel junkie]

yep, for real. not the song, just being reminded.
i didn't know him well, but i've had a beer with him after a show a couple of times. and i saw him play like 20 times... so yeah. it's sad.

I think Chris Feinstein co-wrote a couple of the songs and was at least in part responsible for some of the bass lines...

Per Brad's Facebook:

See you there............................................. .................................................. ........ A Celebration of Chris FeinsteinLocation:11th street Bar 510 east 11th st btwn Ave A and BTime:6:00PM Monday, January 18th

I wonder if Ryan will attend that celebration.

This is a little crass but I also wonder if Ryan attended the funeral. There were no pictures of him with the rest of the Cardinals from photos shared on facebook from around that time.

i don't think ryan did go. but i'm sure that he more than cared and payed his respects in his own time. maybe he judged that it wouldn't be a smart move. i'm sure, for some people, ryan being there would have taken away from what they were there for and at the best of times ryan does not seem good at coping in some social situations.

Chris' mother posted this on facebook on April 21st. If you click through to her profile/photos, it seems like this is truly his mother and not some crazy internet imposter:

Gayle Escamilla To all of Chris' friends and fans. I can now offer some closure to your questions re: Chris' transition. Chris loved music, his girlfriend Meridith, family, friends, fans and life itself---he would never have deliberately ended his. His death was accidental due to a reaction from one of his prescription medications, un...derlying health conditions and, possibly, an across-the-counter cold medication he was taking for a cold/bronchitis, to which he was very susceptible. He was alone at his home and, apparently, unable to summon help. Many of you know he was taking treatments for a serious back problem, for which he had been prescribed medication for pain, however, none of this medication, nor any illegal medication was found in his system. His death was a very unfortunate accident. If anyone readying this has any health issues or takes any medication, please, please talk to your doctor BEFORE taking anything across the counter, including supplements/nutrients. Chris' Mom

So so sad.

[babyklipklop]

horrible.

i am so paranoid about taking multiple medications or taking more than dosing instructions on the bottle for this very reason.

[tangledup]

So, am I. I know people who have taken other people's meds, like extra antibiotics and stuff. It's crazy.
