Happy Birthday to drummer Glen Graham, best known for his affiluation with a band I personally dont particularly care for, due in large part to the singers fingernails on a blackboard vocal stylings. Blind Melon formed in Los Angeles in March 1990 after West Point, Mississippi transplants Rogers Stevens and Brad Smith, a guitarist and bassist respectively, met vocalist Shannon Hoon, a native of Lafayette, Indiana.[1]Guitarist Christopher Thorn, originally from Pennsylvania, was added shortly thereafter; the four eventually convinced drummer Glen Graham to relocate from Mississippi to complete the group after failing to find a drummer in Los Angeles. Their moniker derived from a nickname Smith had observed among Mississippi hippies, a name with precedent in the 1920s blues artist Blind Lemon Jefferson and the Cheech and Chong character Blind Melon Chitlin.
