| Quote: Durham Giant "I agree with that to an extent but it would have been great to see what they went on to do.
Maybe should do a list of stars who should have died so they became legends.
I would start with David Bowie who if he had died in 1981 would have been an all time great.
I wonder when it would have been good for the Rolling Stones to die
Straight after "Goats Head Soup" which is my favourite Stones production, after that I either grew tired with them or they just grew tired, I also agree with Bowie although was never a big fan.
To pick up on your original post and single out Phil Lynott I think he was already a fading star before his well recorded problems with addictions killed off his band, in fact the band were always an evolving project - my description of an artist shining bright for a few years, sometimes a decade before losing whatever it is they had applies very well to him (in my opinion) - the thing with rock musicians is that they will always have a smaller band of fans who will follow and fund a musician lifestyle for the rest of their lives so its not like he would have been destitute now, he'd still be performing and still including the Thin Lizzy 1970s stuff in his repertoire as the audience would demand that.
I often wonder what it feels like to be condemned to sing the same 20 songs over and over again for the rest of your life whilst at the same time be incapable of recapturing whatever spark of genius inspired you to write them in your early twenties, must be devastating (but financially lucrative).
The exception to the rule in this post is Bruce Springsteen who re-invents himself every couple of years (although once again still plays to broadly the same audience every year).

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Like some sort of weird cuckoo turfing the eggs from the nest.

| Certainly not young however, the world is a lesser place without the great BB King in it. One of the most important musicians of all time, and at his peak one of the best voices in the business.
I'd recommend "Live at the Regal" as one of the finest albums ever, and probably my favourite live album.
