The greatest entertainers in music are dead!

I think Elvis' death was one we didn't see coming
Freddie's was one we definitely saw coming
Kurt Cobain's was impossible to devoted fans
John Lennon's death a great loss to music
I hope Mark Chapman rots in hell the bastard!

14.07.2004 14:27		 I'm sorry but I think most folk saw Elvis' death coming, the most. Folk saw what he looked like in Vegas and it was pretty obvious from not only that, but his famous diet! lol
Peace,
Adam.

14.07.2004 17:32		 Greatest entertainers - Kurt Cobain? *snigger*

14.07.2004 18:37		 Oh for fuck's sake, why does everyone place Kurt Cobain on such a high pedestal? He was just another guy who could barely play guitar, glorified only because of his suicide. Please.
Adam Baboolal
14.07.2004 19:02		 I pretty much feel the same way about Kurt Cobain. I just don't get what my generation saw in the guy.
Peace,
Adam.

Nicely put. But, hey, we still have Mick and Keith of the Stones (I believe both men deserve the rank of "immortality" at this point)!

14.07.2004 20:13		 Eddie Vedder is, miraculously, still alive.
And so, equally miraculously, are two members of the Who.

14.07.2004 21:26		 Think how all those "dead artists" are still raking in big-time moneymoney -- Elvis was Number One on Forbes Magazine's list of "deceased entertainers" still making money on recordings and merchandise!
Oh, to be rich and dead...*snicker*

Hey! Barry Manilow puts on a great show!

14.07.2004 21:42		 Yes, he bobbed his nose finally, a long-overdue achievement!! *snicker*

15.07.2004 04:17		 It's strange how the truly great Artists are often troubled(more than others). It is believed that Freddie was traumatized in childhood...

15.07.2004 06:40		 John Lennon 's death+ Freddie's death =tragic & horrible events of the world.(oh.....my heart is jumping!)
siljeoen
15.07.2004 13:50		 David Bowie is still alive and kickin'!!
[StArMaN]
15.07.2004 14:18		 Death was around David these last days. He had an heart op in Germany...so he is not in his best shape.
Adam Baboolal
15.07.2004 18:13		 And yet, he'll be back on the road for more gigs soon, Neil.
Peace,
Adam.

15.07.2004 19:09		 I would add near to John Lennon, Freddie and Elvis another one name - Jim Morrison.
Well, Rock’n’Roll history is full of passed away men and women. It seems it’s very dangerous life.
Adam Baboolal
15.07.2004 19:33		 Oh yeah, JM was only 27! I saw a show about his spirit on Tuesday. Pretty cool.
Peace,
Adam.

15.07.2004 21:02		 I notice that Beethoven hasn't released anything new for a while....

15.07.2004 21:34		 Don't forget Jimi Hendrix -- he has family fighting over his estate daily!

Apparently he's getting sick of his CD's being sent directly to the cheap bin.

Well, yes, we can only hope. Maybe in near future he’ll put something new out. ;-)
