Folk-rock singer who was considered one of the best songwriters of his generation. He was best known for his songs from the film "Good Will Hunting" and songs that focused on drug addiction, failed relationships, self-loathing, suicide etc. His music was very sad, indeed.
He started out as an indie singer in Portland, but gained more recognition when Gus Van Sant decided to use some of his songs from his 1997 album called "Either/Or" (which is probably his best album). Smith also wrote a song for the movie called "Miss Misery," which earned him an Academy Award nomination. Unfortunately, he lost to Celine Dion (It was the "Titanic" year).
Sadly, Smith took his own life in Fall of 2003 by plunging a knife to his heart. He was 34
Smith has done 6 albums; "Roman Candle," self-titled album "Elliott Smith," "Either/Or," "XO," "Figure 8" and a posthumous release called "From a Basement on a Hill."

Get the Paige Smith mug.The better high school in smithtown school district. Located in Saint James, it is in a much nicer area than smithtown west that is almost in commack (the ghetto). the student body consists of many kids who think they are "fly", "piff" and gangster. many kids smoke "mad" weed "brah". The rest of the students are the average kid from nesconset, saint james or smithtown or rich, preppy kids from Nissequogue and Head of the Harbor. The sports are decent, just as good as west although west thinks they are superior in every way which they are not. The east side of town consists of the beaches and marina. East isn't known as the pharmacy. I've never heard that once.
*at long beach*
West kid: bros we own this beach
other West kid: yea hahah fuck those east kids
*east kid pulls up in his brand new boston whaler*
East kid: get the fuck off my beach pussies. This is my home turf bitches!

East kid: SMITHTOWN EAST!

Get the smithtown east mug.Located in fayette county, pennsylvania. A real shit hole town that has one scuzzy bar that can't even serve cold beer because the fridge breaks down once a week. If you are from out of town, even if it is a few miles away you are the latest attraction. For a town of only 800 people, it has the densest population of sexual predators. The average I.Q. is around 90. Most of the people here have the blonde hair/blue eye bullshit because of inbreeding for generations.
Johnny: Hey Bob wanna go to the mall and try to pick up some chicks.
Bob: Why would I want to go the mall when I can stay in smithfield and go right down the hall.
