Dante Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 It was hemlock, but i've never heard of it being in tea. It might have been, I guess. Last words. Considering some ancient civilisations believed that the dying could see into the future, this does not make for very positive reading.

Andrew Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Wow, I was reading through some of the other pages and they blew me away.."It's better to burn out, then to fade away."The suicide ones.Neil Young actually wrote that in his song called My my, hey hey. A depressing but good song.Then Kurt wrote it in his suicide note. Thus Neil Young got back into music because of Kurt (not necessarily because of his death).
