More On Dimebag...

I think these few paragraphs, taken from a Yahoo! story best show how to deal with this trememdous loss to the Pantera Community...


Despite a drizzle and temperatures in the 40s, more than 200 people turned up for a vigil Thursday night in the club's parking lot.

Shawn Sweeney, 22, played "old-school Pantera" on an acoustic guitar and a half-dozen young men held a blue tarp over his head and sang along.

"This is beautiful, this is absolutely beautiful," Sweeney said, referring to the growing crowd.

At one point, a naked young man stood in the middle of the street, arms raised, repeatedly cursing Gale. The crowd cheered boisterously, and the man took off in a full sprint across the parking lot as four police officers gave chase.

He was soon tackled and a man in the crowd yelled out, "We got your bond, dude!" as the streaker was led off in handcuffs.

"We got your bond, dude." Truer words were never spoken, for dude, we all got your bond.
Speaking of tremendous tragedies, has anyone noticed that Mr. Wendy is gone? I knew he would be leaving us, but I didn't realize how soon this would happen. I am hoping for a reunion show in the near future.
