Ignore the Negative comments, by responding or even acknowledging the ignorance, your just lowering yourself to there stupidity. These are the ones who want attention, "shit stirers" ..... If you ignore them, they get bored and go away!

God rest his soul. Brain cancer can be cured. To learn the details about a simple and effective natural cancer therapy, which crosses the blood brain barrier, has a chemical structure which prevents cancer cells from developing a resistance to its action, and reportedly has yielded often impressive results in treating a variety of cancers, including leukemia, breast, colon, prostate, brain cancer (including left frontal glioblastoma), and more, and which according to one M.D. with an international reputation has "stabilized, improved, or remitted" every cancer patient he has followed, with the exception of patients very near death, go to: http://forums.healthiertalk.com/viewforum.php?f=13 and click on page 3.

Wow! 1. I have enjoyed Lit on tour and over the airwaves for a long time. Their songs bring back memories! :) I don't know Allen personally, but he has added something to a lot of people's lives and I thank him for that. 2. My brother is also battling brain cancer. He was diagnosed at 32 years old and has three little kids! He's a two year survivor... but has another brain scan in just a couple of weeks. Once your life has been touched by brain cancer, you become a changed person. You begin to realize how very short and fragile life is. You stop taking every moment and every breath for granted. I CARE! My heart goes out to his family, who must be devastated!!! You heartless asshole! If nothing else, lower your worthless eyeballs and send some positive vibe to his little girl... who now has to experience the rest of her life without her dad because of the brutal reality that is brain cancer. Either express love or shut your fucking mouth! You're a waste of oxygen and too bad it wasn't you instead. All lives have value... until they become the cancer of humanity through spreading hate and spewing stupidity like you have.

anyone that ignorant to make such a comment, is obviously just a drummer who didn't make it. it's called jealousy...how wonderful that you're still in your bedroom playing to cds (of which lit is probably one of them), and not out there living the dream, as allen did.

god bless you allen.

Jess everybody, lighten up, wouldja? I never said or meant I was glad he died, yes it was tragic and sorrowful, his loss of life at that young age. What I said and meant was that he was an unknown but aspiring yutz no different from all the rest of us. When I posted "who cares?" was in response to the fact I'd never even heard his name before, and that alone should show just how "famous" he was. I've been into the music scene since the early 50s, and I can recite almost name by name most of the musicians who passed away before their time. Again, who, besides his family and friends, will remember his name even a few short years from now? (except that small army of shit-music fans who seem to worship this obscure drummer and his band). Yeh, I'm saddened too he's dead, just like I feel sad for anyone whose name I dont know. If he were any good at his craft, or had any real talent, he'd be widely known by now, even famous. But such luck didnt come his way. R.I.P. to him, my condolences to his family. As for all you "I WANT MY MTV" generation, look outside your little plastic bubble once in a while and listen to REAL music, not just the shit that calls itself music these days! Enough already! I'm glad I pissed off so many, I've known for a long time there's a whole society of hate-mongers out there who'll shoot down anyone who disagrees with their silly-ass point of view and lack of taste! Signing off: Mr. been there, done that! I know whereof I speak!
