I was listening to some Sublime on the way to work this morning. The band’s self-titled album from 1996 is such a great disc with the “What I Got” single making it to number one. Lead singer Brad Nowell never saw it happen, though: he died of a heroin overdose two months before the album was released.
I can only imagine what kind of music the band might have made if Nowell hadn’t been so self-destructive. What a shame.
