Wait, I've never noticed what is really hidden in that line possibly... Does he mean if he dies the album purple will flower in sales once again? I thought he was just talking about the color purple and a flower, not the record purple flowering from sales from his death... Does anybody have any clarification on this? Am I crazy for never noticing this before?

Inevitable and sad in more than one way..  This probably should be moved to another thread by a mod.

Hmmm, interesting observation/thought.  I never really pictured it that way before, referring directly to the Purple album.  I think I might from now on whether it is what was intended or not.

Eerie huh, but thats true of any artist when they pass,  there art has a resurgence. 

Scotts passing has made me want to get Blaster on vinyl now, the orange edition if it's still out there.

Thank You almost sold just as good as it did when it  came out originally, wow.

Messages by VR takes on a super poignant meaning now, especially in light of Mary's letter:


It's been so long, nice to see youWon't be long before I come back homeWhen the plane lands will you reach meWill you call me on the telephone?
[/size]Tell my son I wish, I never yelled at him yesterday'Cause every thing's changedRadar signal seeking you but finding nothing at all, heyBut they'll hardly call the cavalryThere's something happening, hey, hey, goodbye
[/size]Goodbye mother, tell my daughter, have to leaveGet off the telephone, there's a problemSinking feeling, heroes died and plastic armor on
[/size]Tell my son I wish, I never yelled at him yesterday'Cause every thing's changedAnd you, you gave me all you hadI hope someday you will be happy without me, goodbye
[/size]Lost in a world that's quickly going badYou were there so strengthened to the groundAngels and the demons fight to save the livesWhile all the others cry
[/size]As for you, you made my life worth living, heyI pray one day you will be happy without meHey, goodbyeHey, goodbye[/size]

I always thought that the purple flower was referencing the opium poppy plant, from which heroin is made.

A double entendre.

I've always, ever since the record was released, thought that line was in reference to the album "Purple." I mean, it seems pretty clear that was always the intended meaning. Or so I've always thought.

Bloody weird looking at the Billboard charts and seeing 3 STP tracks in the top 20 rock songs chart.
