This is Why I Blog

Woke up this morning to a new year with a great comment posted by someone I have never met in relation to this post here.

The comment reads as follows:

A MILLION MAHALOS, billy brah! i've been searching for this and youre the one to pass out the blessing. and pass out is what i almost did when i first heard the strum. this had to be one of my most melancholy moments in concert history. the mixture, Vedders heart, along with the nostalgia of the song will remain longer and harder thanks to you. you did us a service. EDDIE DID GO, AND EDDIE BE PROUD! ALOHA

Nothing thrills a writer more to know that they helped move someone through their work. Whether it be a novel, short story, poem, or blog post, it still brings a smile to the face. It doesn't hurt that it's about a subject near and dear to my heart.

Happy new year all!
