Good luck to him. (not sarcasm)

"Jim Page, who plays guitar and performs with Artis, often in front of Starbucks..."

wow, first playing with the Black Crowes, and now this. how the mighty have fallen.

b0rg9		2002-05-25 10:52:29 AM

I hope he recovers soon. I love rare talent like his.

SLAYERSWINE		2002-05-25 10:52:41 AM

Schmack,
Duh, Jim Page, NOT JIMMY PAGE !

He is running out of spoons to clean. Layne, Kurt, & Andrew all gone.

Too bad he didn't make it north of the border before collapsing...

SuperMonkeyOverLord		2002-05-25 11:00:07 AM

Is it just me or does that chick from the "If your over 21 and smoke" add look like Charlize Theron with black hair?

Oh, that is wayyyyyyy off topic.

ezcheese		2002-05-25 11:01:58 AM

Spoooooon maaaaan, come together with your hands.

Anybody who can play the recorder with his nose gets my vote.

SuperMonkeyOverLord		2002-05-25 11:04:11 AM

Gets your vote for what?

yotta		2002-05-25 11:05:08 AM

Spoonmen?

ezcheese		2002-05-25 11:07:29 AM

My vote for death by complications from a heart attack.

Skwidd		2002-05-25 11:10:23 AM

He has a daughter? How the fark did that happen?

MoeSyzlack		2002-05-25 11:11:46 AM

Skwidd,
If we need to explain that to you, maybe you are not old enough to be farking on your own...

caydi		2002-05-25 11:20:06 AM

when i was in 5th grade, we watched this educational video in music class on percussion stuff, and spoonman was in it. it was kinda cool.

Skwidd		2002-05-25 11:40:02 AM

Ok, I guess I left myself open for that one.

MoeSyzlack		2002-05-25 11:44:20 AM

Skwidd,
It was said completely in the spirit of humor and with no ill intentions...

sopranakazoo		2002-05-25 11:49:55 AM

No Spoonfuls of money
Heart Stops Beating
The Utensils fall
We pay the bill

Skwidd		2002-05-25 12:40:22 PM

I know. It was funny. =)

EddieCochran		2002-05-25 12:47:06 PM

I was on Public Access television here in Seattle with the Spoonman. He was performing with Sex Mob.

Alton		2002-05-25 01:06:22 PM

I didn't know playing spoons could be so stressful.

Why did he have a heart attack at 53? That's the question.

MatthewCole		2002-05-25 01:26:57 PM

Concidering he lives off of tips on the street, I blame large amounts of instant ramen noodles.

RandyJohnson		2002-05-25 01:43:31 PM

Chris Cornell should pay his medical bills.

b0rg9		2002-05-25 01:46:54 PM

MatthewCole: Unfortunately I learned through my college years what living solely off of ramen noodles was like!

BurnKateDrumGuy		2002-05-25 02:26:56 PM

thats 2, count em, 2 references to chris cornell on the fark main page so far. five bucks to whoever notices the other one.

turkish		2002-05-25 02:53:07 PM

Well, no 5 bucks for me.

kilgore40		2002-05-25 03:38:23 PM

Aren't all his friends Indians? Where are they helping him?

Ny-QuilDriver		2002-05-25 04:59:31 PM

He should have joined the local Spoon Players union so he would have medical benefits.

beer baron		2002-05-25 06:59:56 PM

the spoonman farking rocks. he and his buddy would just show up at random places on the UW campus and start playing. hope he gets better.

L1011King		2002-05-25 09:21:54 PM

Hmm, another Seattle musician Courtney Love wanted dead?

I Krist Novoselic, Chris Cornell and JAMPAC should start a fund or something.

schmack		2002-05-25 10:34:32 PM

slayerswine: Duh? i cannot believe, for such a fark veteran as you, you took that seriously.

Cobere		2002-05-25 11:32:10 PM

Someone do the digging and tell us where we can donate. I'd give 5 bucks to preserve the spoonman. I sent an email to Key Bank but havent got anything back yet.
