Woke up this morning to the news of Taylor Hawkins' passing. And while it's sad any day that rock and roll loses a great, this one hit a little closer to home.
I've gotten to know Taylor over the past couple years with our sons going to the same school. Parents weekend, commencement, whatever it was - his dad was there. Shane and his dad have the sort of relationship I wish more parents and kids did. And Taylor definitely didn't have the that fame trip thing happening. Really down to earth guy to bull**** and chain-smoke with. He would talk to my son all the time and was crazy encouraging to them both about putting their heart and soul into the music.
Here's a pic from last Parents weekend, that's his son with the Explorer. I was sitting with Alison and Taylor and they were both grinning from ear to ear to ear watching him lay it down.
Really sad day. Take care of yourselves out there, people.
