Just tell me why?

WHY????

EDIT: And I don't mean why did they die, I mean why post this bloody list?

EDIT EDIT: And Marc Bolan didn't die. He was promoted to Heavenly Angelelic ambassador to all things rock and sexy.

I posted it because it's kind of pointless, and so fits right in here. I have a theory that the more pointless a thread is, the more responses it will get. Thanks for getting the ball rolling😛

oh yeah:

he blew his mind out in a car
she didn't notice that the lights had changed
the car was headed towards a tree
they'd seen his face before
nobody was sure if he was a boy or a girl

He didn't die, I tells you!

He became the rock and roll ambassador to heaven for all things rock and sexy. How many times do I have to say that? Are you listening at all?

ok, ok, if it makes you happy, he didn't die, he's the r'n'r ambassador for all things rock and sexy and androgynous (at least til Bowie croaks).

Take the holy Bolan off the list then dude.

You're insulting all that is good, beautiful and truly sexy.

Dead Musician who died too early, list continued:
Frank Zappa
Stevie Rae Vaughn
Jaco Pastorious (jazz/rock/ fussion)
Dwayne Allman
Lynryd Skynyrd- Ronnie Vant, Steve Gaines
Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole (somewhere over the rainbow)

You've aqll forgotten Jim Morrison.

I am so glad that buffon Jim Morrison died young.

The biggest self-inflated & wannabe-followed merchandising icon of last century. By far.

John Lennon was almost as stinky as Jim, though.

forgot Ian Curtis somehow😳
