magazine, Staley spoke of how his
drug use influenced his lyrics.
“I wrote about drugs, and I
didn’t think I was being unsafe
or careless by writing about
them,” he told the magazine.
“Here’s how my thinking
pattern went: When I tried
drugs, they were (expletive)
great, and they worked for me
for years, and now they’re
turning against me — and now
I’m walking through hell, and
this sucks.”

The group’s first album,
“Facelift,” was released in 1990.
It later released “Dirt” and
“Alice in Chains.” The group’s
hits included “Man in the Box,”
“Them Bones,” “Rooster,” and
“Would?”
The latter song was partly
inspired by the 1990 heroin
overdose death of Andrew Wood,
singer of the seminal grunge
group Mother Love Bone.
Staley’s body was found just
over eight years after Cobain
was found dead in his Seattle
home of a self-inflicted gunshot
wound. Heroin was found in
Cobain’s bloodstream, and his
head had been so mutilated that
he could not be immediately
identified.
In the 1996 interview, Staley
reflected on Cobain’s death: “I
saw all the suffering that Kurt
Cobain went through. I didn’t
know him real well, but I just
saw this real vibrant person turn
into a real shy, timid, withdrawn
person who could hardly get a
‘hello’ out.... At the end of the
day or at the end of the party,
when everyone goes home,
you’re stuck with yourself.”

generation, we forget how to care
for the earth,” said Associate
Dean Gwen Geidel, who wants
this year’s events to make a dif
ference in such thinking. “We
still need to recognize that the
earth can only accommodate so
much.”
Opportunities to learn about
and act on environmental issues
remain long after Earth Day
ends.
“It’s an ongoing proposi
tion,” Geidel said about the
need to uncover the existing
problems and work toward find
ing and implementing potential
solutions.
The curriculum at USC pro
vides ample ways to learn
more. There are classes in
English, economics, and nu
merous sciences that center on
environmental issues.
Campus organizations like
Students Allied for a Green
Earth also advance environ
mental awareness.
For the students who may not
currently be enrolled in such
classes or involved in such orga
nizations, Geidel said she hopes
they will use the festival as a
starting point.
“I hope every student will take
the opportunity to stop and real
ize that we can’t take Earth for
granted,” Geidel said. “We
should act to sustain the earth
now and the future. ”
The School of the
Environment, SAGE, USC
Facilities Management, the
Housing Department, and the
Sustainable Universities have
been organizing the festival since
January.
