A Tribute to Paul

Some of you may remember that earlier this year, Crowded House drummer and Aussie music icon Paul Hester took his own life in Melbourne. I've been reminded of this tragic event a couple of times this week, and they continue to show that I'm actually still not over it fully (see post). Anyway, at the ARIA awards last Sunday night, rock royalty and Paul's former band mate Neil Finn did an acoustic tribute to Paul, performing "Better Be Home Soon" to a crowd of thousands singing along. Best moment of the whole night. And just today, the local council of the area where Paul lived announced that they're naming a stretch of parkland after Paul in tribute. As the ARIA awards (and countless other music award shows) so clearly showed, music stars come and go as quickly as night follows day (and sometimes quicker), but true music legends affect people long after they're gone. Cheers again Paul.
