  Emotionally, "Gifted Hands" didn't really hit me until that last string part on the very end. I was listening to it on the stereo in my room, and for most of the song I was like, "Okay, this is a pretty good song. Good tribute to Billy, yeah..." Then everything just stopped. The guitars, the drums, everything; and that one sole guitar started playing that melancholy tune again. I don't exactly know what triggered it, but I burst into tears. I think that, for whatever reason, that last part of the song must have somehow made the fact that Billy was truly forever gone from this world genuinely click. I must have cried for like... 10 minutes at least. And I'm not afraid to admit it! I looked up to Billy (I still do), and while I never had the honor and pleasure of meeting him in person, his passing still hit me pretty hard. Oh well... I'll just have to shake his hand in heaven, I guess...

  BTW, could Billy REALLY not cut grass? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but still... (I wouldn't be surprised really; God had to compensate for all that insane talent somehow... Lol)
