Provided by Anthony Priolo's family As you may already know, Anthony Priolo, 21, of Graniteville, passed away early yesterday morning, after a driver from upstate drove his SUV into Priolo's car in Brooklyn, ...

I didn't know Anthony, nor have I ever heard any of his music. However, when I read this sad news I felt deeply for his family. It made me think of my own son, only 8 and very musical, how fragile life is. How when he is older, I will not be able to be there beside him to protect him. And my heart felt broken for his parents and his siblings. I am also angry at the unfairness of life, because after reading his myspace page, I saw what a truly deep and beautiful person he was and thought how the piece of crap that took his life through irresponsibility, is walking around unscratched. Where is the justice? I will be keeping you all in my thoughts, hoping that all the good memories will make it a little easier to bear eventually.

It made me think of my own mortality then i started to think how all my friends, family and loved ones would feel and thats when i started to feel bad for his loved ones. maybe i could do something, a tribute gig with other local bands? mabe someone who knew Anthony can contact me and we could set it up. drop me an e0-mail at [e-mail]
