Death is a part of life - even for rockstars and celebrities. I have been compiling a list of rock stars who died "before their time." What can "we" learn from this? A COMPLETE LIST OF DEAD ROCKSTARS!
|
|
HOW DOES "DEATH" AFFECT AN ARTISTS CAREER?
Nothing ruins a party or concert more than some dude who just sits there motionless
and silent while the rest of us are getting "into it." Unless of course the silent guy is actually dead. In that case - everyone is bummed.
Through out
my career I have delath with a lot of losses. I had to keep my emotions out of the equation or I would get sucked
under like so many tears. My mentor once told me this: "Never make friends with rock stars!" I
didn't know what he meant at the time. I assumed he meant that a friendship would cause me to
write a puff piece or somehow "destroy" my own journalistic integrity. I now know what he really meant. It's okay to love the
music, because that will never leave you. As for the artists who make the music... well, that's a whole new tune:
