My favorite quotes from the SRV thread:

If any guitarist got more famous and respected after he died it was SRV. The guy wasn't that well known before his plane crash. Then his plane went down and all of the sudden he was the hottest guitarist on the face of the earth and on every guitar magazine every other month. You had all these guitar nerds writing in talking about how they had never heard of the guy until after his plane went down.

In Step was a new beginning for him since he had practically pissed his career down the drain with his heroin addiction.

Actually...yeah, they were.
The Fire Meets The Fury Tour....
November 3, 1989 Cobo Hall - Detroit, MI
November 11, 1989 Madison Square Garden - New York City, NY
Now wait for it...here it comes...The inevitable Tommy2Tone hipster accusation!

Idia's just some fucking hipster that probably didn't even own In Step when it was out. .
