Stella Blue

In Box of Rain, Hunter says simply that he wrote Stella Blue in the Chelsea Hotel in 1970, which makes the Chelsea one of the "blue-light cheap hotels" mentioned in the song.

Over the years, New York City's Chelsea Hotel has figured into many songs and is a sort of musical landmark. In the late '60s and early '70s, it was the extended home of the Dead, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, and many others.

This is what we recommend:

• Trim the candle wick to 1/4" before each burn sesh or once your candle has cooled.
• Don't ever attempt to trim a burning candle. That's just crazy.
• Toss the snipped portion in the trash; never leave wick trimmings in your candle jar.
• The wick should always remain centered and away from the sides of the vessel.
• Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar during each burn to prevent tunneling.
• Once the candle's gone, we hope you'll re-use it. Clean it out and you've got a new planter or pencil holder – or whatever you want! Click here for tips on reusing your empties.

Safety first - because candles contain a small flame, we encourage following these common sense rules of thumb:

• Never leave a candle burning unattended, near a draft, or in reach of children or pets.
• Don't burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
• Do not allow your wick to curl over, as this can create a larger than normal flame.
• Stop burning your candle when only 1/4" of wax remains.
• Do not pick up a burning candle or immediately after it's been blown out.
• Protect the surface underneath the candle no matter the material.
