I mourned the passing of Otis Redding (I still remember where I was when I heard Otis died...)
same with John Lennon (why'd he have to go instead of Paul...?!)
also mourned the untimely passing of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Croce, Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Harrison, Frank Zappa, Eva Cassidy, Warran Zevon, others that I'm blanking on at the moment and will think of later...
didn't particularly care about the passing of Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, James Brown, Michael Jackson, others that aren't worth the effort to try to remember...
What's wrong with Jim Morrison? The Doors rocked.
The Doors did indeed kick ass... at first...
and I was a big fan when they first hit the scene... bought their first coupla albums as soon as they came out...
but after that, JM became a rather pathetic parody of himself...
and, while it was, of course, tragic that he died when he did, it didn't really much matter to me 'cause he'd pretty much shot his wad...
as opposed to, say, Jimi and Janis... who died that same Autumn of '70 and held such promise for more great stuff... 'specially Jimi...
