VIP's in the front rows
Of shows I'd like to know
Jaco, I miss you
You hurt worse than the rest
When I see what we lost
When you left
We are bound by locality
You grew up in Valley Forge
Only 10 minutes away from me
Then by one degree of seperation
Having jammed with my music mentor
This provides some consolation
To me you are a giant
Though I've never seen you in person
I first fell in love with you
Before I knew who you were in Weather Report
The band that defined the genre: jazz fusion
I'll never play as good as you
No one will
You missed the Brave New World
A blue diamond could have eased your pain
After a little while...
The American Indian was your pariah
And why not..
But your sympathy's didn't extend any further than being a good guy
Right now
Maybe a glance in the mirror
Could have saved your violent end
But, it's never that simple

hmm..parts of it are very nice, poetic, etc.
but most of it seems like a lot of information. i have the same problem sometimes, especially when writing about people moreso then feelings.
but overall, good write. sorry for your loss.
