    I knew David well and I can tell you that he couldn’t swim, he was petrified of that very crossing. So why was he there? Why did the coroner or m.e. say at first there was no water in his lungs, then switched it to yes, there was. He would’ve never taken this ‘shortcut’ to get home. EVER. He wouldn’t have done this. I miss him every day. He would get a kick out of his death being a mystery though! ;) He’d just moved back to New Hope from Athens and was so happy to be there! I saw him the night before he left and cried, said I felt I’d never see him again. Same thing happened with another of his friends, she cried and said she felt she’d never see him again. He was a funny, awesome and amazing human being. Miss you forever David A❤

    This was the song that broke ween apart for a bit. Gene ween didn't want it released, as it was dedicated to a friend of theirs who had died, but dean just went and put it out anyway, and gene wasn't okay with that.

      @@ffy0000 Yeah, alot of drama seems to stem out from the leaking of Quebec and how Gene was 'Salty' or 'Upset' about the release. I think he was more just kind of disgruntled it was posted without his Permission, as Dean just posted it, but it had been done before anyways. But nowhere can I find him saying it himself, and it seems to be a speculation.

      There's a bit more to the story - there's some suspicious aspects to it. David Anderson's body had facial lacerations which weren't consistent with the "fell into the canal" theory, and 13 years later, another woman (Sarah Majoras) died in the same circumstances, at the same spot. The weird part is that in both cases, the person (David/Sarah) had been on the way home from John & Peter's (local live music spot) to the home they shared *with the same guy* - someone called Adam Baker. He was Sarah's boyfriend and David's roommate.

      @@theangel666100 Let me try and find it, it was from a local paper... this is a neutral news story on it from the Philadelphia Enquirer: www.inquirer.com/philly/news/local/20130130_Case_of_missing_bartender_strikingly_similar_to_2000_case.html . The other thing I saw was more like amateur detectives convincing themselves that Baker murdered them both, inna reddit stylee. In either case, it's an odd coincidence: exact same manner of death and same flatmate. The police must have at least considered the idea that Baker was involved, so maybe he had an alibi and it checked out or they investigated and decided it wasn't him.

    I looked into it, David Anderson was a local musician from Lambertville who fell into the canal and died on July of 2000 or 2001 on his way to a friend's house from John & Peter's bar. His autopsy revealed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.183 and had around 160mg/l of morphine in his body.

    The chords to this sad little numbah. It's in E flat(or D#). You'll have to tune up. They should be open chords.
    Verse // Eb(sus2)Eb Ab Fm Bb
    Eb(sus2)Eb Ab Db / Fm / Db Bb
    Chorus // Eb Ab Eb(octave up) Ab Fm Db / Fm / Db Bb
    End // Db / Fm / Db Bb (x2) Eb
    Or, think of it as tuning up then these shapes: D, G, Em, A // D, G, C, Em, C, A for verse, and D, G, D(octave up), G, Em, C, Em, C, A for chorus.

      I've never encountered a band that has the same ratio of released to unreleased tracks as Ween do. With most left-field bands you can hunt about and find some stuff, usually not that great. But with Ween there's as much unreleased as released, and a maybe a quarter or even a half of it is really good. I don't understand why it wasn't polished up and released, I feel like they could have done twice as many albums.
