As Tubby posted in the search for Brody thread:

One comment, and I'm leaving for class.

Brody changed his status on Facebook to:

"Brody Hawkins has seen fire and rain."

Wikipedia told me that Fire and Rain is a song by James Taylor, and is speculated to be about:

"According to some sources, James Taylor got his inspiration from an earlier tragic incident. Snopes.com reports and debunks the myth that "Fire and Rain" was written after Taylor's girlfriend, whom he was planning to marry, died in a plane crash ("Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.") The story is as follows:

Taylor was booked to play a gig across the country on his birthday and, secretly, his friends bought plane and concert tickets for his fiance Suzanne so she could meet him there as a surprise. However, the plane crashed shortly after takeoff after complications due to heavy rain, killing many aboard, including Suzanne. Upon receiving the news, Taylor immediately wrote "Fire and Rain" as a sign of mourning ("Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone. / Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you. / Walked out this morning, and I wrote down this song./ I just can't remember who to send it to.")

The "Fire and Rain" is said to refer to the fiery crash in the rain. However, Taylor has openly denied these allegations and explained the true inspiration behind the song."

Sounds familiar...

and btw, i thought this might have been a clue as to his current whereabouts....sorry

I also thought it could be relevant to Brody's location Tubby. Yesterday I checked James Taylor's tour schedule to see where he was, but I didn't see any 2008 dates prior to his European tour that begins next month so discounted him as JT.

Update on Facebook...Brody writes a note.

Thinking and Wondering What I'm Gonna Do...
11:17am Today

Well, it's been a hell of a year. March marks a dark anniversary for me. I sort of hoped this weekend would take the sting out of life. No dice.

So here I go, plunging into who-knows-what. The film spots are everywhere, kind of cool, mostly painful.

To those who know me, I bid you adieu.

To those who just think they know me, I'm sorry we never met.

Who knows what will come. Something intense, I suppose. Life is never dull, especially not this one.

A lyric I both love AND hate to say farewell:

Tomorrow
You're gonna have to live with the things you say
Tomorrow
You'll have to cross bridges that you burned today
Tomorrow...
And everything you do, it's coming back for you
You'll never outrun what waits for you
Tomorrow.

I first thought he was planning on off himself. But he mentioned something in March so if he is thinking ahead like that I guess not.

but it definitely sounds like he is going to disappear now - he seems to be saying goodbye.

Now it seems like the find brody cats have something to really worry about. If he dissappears to us, their mission is ours.

thanks for including that amandel. I haven't paid a lot of attention to the lyrics from the Heroin Diaries, so I like it when someone makes the connection.

Makes me wonder what would have happened if the Patriots won? Probably would be in a better mood right now, ya think?
