Death
rock nyc rising rock stars from the dead
Vanity Fair ran an article asking if their readers could bring anybody back from the dead, who would it be. So always in the market to steal somebody elses idea, I thought I’d figure out the same concept for musicians.
Final 24, Sid Vicious

Mindy McCready And Killing Yourself
Nobody knows if McCready’s life would have turned around if she had lived but we do know for sure, it wouldn’t if she didn’t. So called animals in the jungle take care of their children, what is left if we won’t simply exist another coupla decades for them. Life is fast and then it’s gone.

Paparazzo Dies Chasing Justin Bieber For A Pix
Bieber is looking for legislation to stop these guys from at least driving like maniacs. So far, the tough part is centering a piece of law based on a profession. I guess Bieber is thinking of something like the hate crimes law where the penalties are bigger for Paparazzi driving dangerously than for civilians but I doubt it will happen.
Solo Artists Die Earlier Than Members Of Bands

Pete Ham Memorial For The Badfinger Star, Suicide Victim This April 2013
Look at it this way: 6 million years have gone by without your consciousness, and 6 million more will go by without your consciousness. For fuck’s sake tough it out for the 100 years you are conscious

The Soundtrack To Your Funeral

Suge Knight Still Not Convinced That Tupac Shakur Is Dead
And he was not making allusion to the fact the rapper appeared as a hologram two weekends in a row in Coachella, no, he was reanimating the persistent urban legend, suggesting that the real Tupac may be still alive:
‘Maybe the question is… Pac’s not really dead… Pac’s somewhere else.’
"The Bodyguard" Reviewed (More Or Less)
Whitney is incredible. Her eyes are slits, as though she is Asian, except they seem to be so narrow because her cheeks are puffy and it gives her a dreamy, sexy, just out of bed and ready to get back in post-coital glow for much of the movie

Alyson Camus Spends More Time At Whitney Houston's Funeral Than She Ever Did Listening To The Music
I wonder, is it still private at this point? Why is the family pretending they want a private ceremony when this is mediatized to this extreme? And how much did CNN pay to be authorized to do this?
Aretha Franklin Too Ill To Perform At Whitney Houston's Funeral
Aretha Franklin’s brilliant performance last night at Radio City Music Hall has left the queen Of Soul too ill to perform at Whitney’s funeral, gong even as I write.

'Heaven Adores You’ Nickolas Rossi Discusses Elliott Smith
You can find the whole story if you just read a book or go on the internet. It is a very transparent story. There is no real hidden thing in the Elliott Smith’s story. It is a very short story with a very limited cast of characters
