With all due respect to Ms. Colter and the others who
so gracefully illustrated the peculiar lifestyle
difficulties of the clinically depressed, I must
express my personal opinion that Elliot Smith was a
strung-out doper with more than enough resources to
attain -- and acheive -- sobriety; that he chose to
dwell in his own personal hell is an obvious result of
his deep-seated personal shortcomings. Trust me, I've
known him on a first-name basis since 1997, having run
into him time and time again in Los Angeles and
Portland. Egotistical and precious, that was Elloit.
The guy was a loser and deserves his rightful place in
Hell's Discography. As for his music, I found it to be
predictible, trite, and less than engaging; the word
"indulgent" comes to mind. That he received ANY breaks
at all (and, believe me, he received PLENTY) is a
miracle. 

As for Segarini's "Cats and Dogs", I visited the site
and heard some of the tunes; what is this, some kind
of a joke?

Lordy lordy, now Rerun has died. Funny how that
happens sometimes.
