My Take
Andrew Wood is one of those figures whose story I find genuinely haunting. As the frontman of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone, he was building something flamboyant and theatrical, performing as his Landrew the Love Child persona, right as Seattle was about to detonate into a global phenomenon. His death in 1990, at just 24, came before that wave fully crested, and you can't help wondering what he might have become. I think of him as a bridge figure whose influence rippled through everything that followed in that scene. The fact that his legacy outlived him so powerfully says everything about his presence.
