It's quite something when you do though. Stick with it!

Unfortunately I'm sure lots of them did.

No jokes. I'm still trying to get my head around the sheer magnitude of the destruction.

you want to see a bandwagon?? check out that trent thread.

Dave Grohl is still doing well tho, isn't he? but the fact that he's dead makes him safe. He can't do anything to disappoint - see also, Hendrix, Jimmy ; Morrisson, James Douglas ; Lennon, John Winston, etc. None of those guys are ever gonna release a crappy album or refuse an autograph!

I was there when it was just about the writing man, now it's got all scene and the kids are losing touch with what the whole thing is really about.
It's just become too commercial, I can't be associated with that kind of capitalism.

I just saw a kid wearing an oversized hoody with Trent's silhouette on it.

Jeez.

I know 2pac has nearly released more albums after dying than when he was alive.

I think celebrities who were really talented and achieved a lot deserve to be lauded A good example is Michael Jackson.

Some people don't deserve it though. I'll probably be crucified for saying this but it thought the hoopla around Jade Goodys death was really OTT. While i felt sorry for her given that she died young and had kids i dont think she merited all the attention.
