      Didn't help that Gwen was dating one of the members, but they broke up. You can see when by the color of her hair, any color but pink when she was dating, pink when she was single.
      Then record execs started focusing WAY more on her than the entire group, which put a rift between them, which is why she wrote Don't Speak, to kinda apologize. I'm _really_ summarizing, but that's kind of the gist.

    I worked for a small music store in 1997 in Buena Park. My buddy said he knew the drummer for Insted and to come to a house party in Anaheim off of North Street; I said, I’m down.
    So we roll up, park in the driveway and ring the bell. Adrian the drummer answers the door with Coors in hand. I walk in and with only about 30 people total, I’m now sitting with the entire band watching the Mr. Hanky episode of South Park that just made its debut. Gwen is next to me with her right hand wrapped for some reason, and on my other side is Tom and his lady.
    Surreal. Then at some point, Eric gets on the piano and the rest is a blur.

    What's miraculous is one of the greatest bands of all time may have been just about to become a successful band in a totally different iteration.

Focus and stamina are the two absolutely crucial elements of success on that level.

    There are always choices and any of them are better than the one he made.
    When your thoughts become intrusive? Take a step back. That is the appropriate time for procrastination!
    Choose a path with options if you change your mind.
    It's ok to be scared. It's ok for people to not like your choices. Because you have to live.

    처음 참!! 너무 순진하게 보인다,당신들은 결국 큰 성공을 이뤗으니 죽어도 여한이 없겠수,몇십년전 당신들 음악 차에서 수도없이 들으며,살았소,덕분에 너무 행복했수,근대 70이 다되 다시 빠저들었오
