The Big Fat Mine Field Thread of 90s Nostalgia

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Most people know him from his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujiah", but Jeff Buckley was so much more than that. Son of the 70s multi-genre musician Tim Buckley (who died at 28 of a drug overdose), Jeff inherited all of his father's musicianship, plus Robert Plant's voice. He rose to stardom in 1994 with his debut album Grace, and three years later died in an accidental drowning at age 30, before he could complete his second album. (What was releasable came out the next year as My Sweetheart the Drunk).

There's a DVD of a live concert in Chicago in 1995 that I highly recommend. I still get sad at the thought of how incredibly too soon he left us...

One thing I remember from the 90's is desert storm and how some of my friends from school went to war in the 90's. I also recall having a surgery in a military hospital and the chaplain brought me a Bible that had dessert storm motif on the outside of it.
