Wooden Ships - Crosby, Stills & Nash

I'm currently going through the five stages of grief.

Aaron Collins, a member of Locksley, has decided to leave the band. It's sort of a shock, but not at the same time. When I found out he was sort of the "out of control" member of the band I expected something to happen. What I expected, I didn't know, but something was bound to happen. And now it has.

Actually, I've sort have gone through all of them in random order. It started with shock/denial, then concern (which isn't a stage), then bargaining, then anger, then acceptance, and now back to anger. I can't really look at him without calling him an asshole. He could have left for perfectly valid reasons, but he's still an asshole because...just because.

The remaining members of the band have decided to continue on without him which I'm grateful for. Will it work? Will they replace Aaron? I don't know. Only time will tell, but I would really love to see them ONE last time before they call it quits (if they call it quits). Let them know that no matter what, I will remain a fan. Forever.
