Upon hearing of Jon Lee's tragic death, many emotions ran through my mind. Why did he do this? What was he going through to make him think he had no other way out? I don't agree with what he did, but I have to respect his decision when it comes down to it.
I ran The Feeder Dynasty for a few years but have since given up on the website stuff, citing "being too busy" as my reason for letting it all slip away. I never had the honour of meeting Jon or any of the other members of Feeder, but I sure as hell have listened to them for quite a while. My brother brought home the Polythene cassette from England when he was there in 1996 I believe. Maybe 1997? Anyway, I recall it being Christmastime, that year. He told me to pop in Side 2 and listen to the first track, which happened to be Descend (my favorite song they've ever done). I immediately liked the sound, I liked the beat, I liked the guitar riffs, and I liked the voice of Grant.
I then searched for everything Feeder-related throughout the next while and started up with the Feeder Dynasty a short while later. <br>
Why is all of this relevant? Because it's simply amazing how much one person or a group of people can impact your life and your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions. Now that one of the members of Feeder has passed away, the face of the band has changed forever, and my life has changed so much inside, even though I never had the honour of meeting the man.
Jon Lee, you are a legend to all Feeder fans and a loved one by us, by your family, by your bandmates, and by everyone who knew you. Why you decided you had to go, we'll never know. We will just remember how much you meant to every single one of us and your memory will linger forever...
