Who Would You Pick?

[Lady Murasaki]

John Lennon, he was shot down in his prime and had so much more to offer the world and his family.
The rest all seemed like spent forces.

Difficult to see how Hendrix who was just embarking on his jazz career when he died at the age of 27 could be described as a spent force.

Anyone who takes too many drugs has essentially given up on life.

Not necessarily, if it some who is exploring the mind and effect etc, generally highly intelligent/talented folks.

Anyway Bob every time for me and I saw him live at Crystal Palace http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/crystal% ... -1980.html

First big gig ever was Queen at Lancaster Uni.

Jimmi played in Carlisle or opened some fashion shop, I missed that as too young but have some copies of the original pics from a man I rented a room from whilst at Art school there, must search them out, suspect my lad has them in his room

It's still Russain roulette, why take a chance with your intellect/talent like that?
I'm guessing people knew less in the sixties about mind bending substances but anyone who experiments now is aware of the risks.

[Lady Murasaki]

Ok, I'll let him off then.

He's a voodoo chile - regardless, he'll be glad you have retracted your condemnation.

Don't get me wrong, I loved his music, maybe that was all he was capable of.

And Freddys death made me cry, I'm always confessing about crying to you , Queen, Pink Floyd and Kate Bush are in my DNA. Older siblings played them constantly when I was very young.

I think he was capable of much more.

In a crowded but oddly subdued supermarket in 1980 missus and me were remarking how pleased we were that they were playing end to end Beatles - smiling and singalong we were - had no idea that Lennon had been shot.

I doubt that, I think Drugs were "safer" then, we see more kids dying from stuff we never dreamt of when we were young.

It was odd, I'd just gotten into the Beatles because of a season of their films over the Christmas period, weeks before he was shot. My generation's Kennedy moment. Skipped school that day to mourn with my wayward best friend.

Safer for some but lots seem to have died from overdoses back then.
Or drug related incidents, like drowning while high.

Mind bending substances are the none addictive kind.
The opiates as in Heroin and Morphine are not classed as Psychedelic or mind expanding.
In the sixties heroin was legal and came from the chemist 100% pure as did the coke and amphetamine.
