Ever hear of the self fulfilling prophecy?


SRV - accident...
Bonzo - live hard, die in puke...
Cobain - suicide due to self fulfilling prophecy...
Hendrix - conspicuous consumption of items that can kill you...
Morrison - meh, wino in a hot tub, **** happens...
Moon - depression and alcolholism, a dangerous mixture...
Joplin - see Hendrix...
Entwistle - cocaine and **** stars, a true rock and roll death...
Buddy Holly - one poor decision too many. A great artist but should have known better than to fly in a puddle jumper in arctic conditions.

In the end it is the death that made them icons. Do you honestly think the Hendrix or Morrison would get the acclaim they do if they had lived? Morrison was washed up and washed out. Hendrix was most likely about to leave rock and roll and move on to more avant pursuits.
