THIS IS HORRIBLE

Why do all the good musicians die?

I'll give you guys a list of the good musicians who have passed on over the years:

Layne Staley
Kurt Cobain
Cliff Burton
Randy Rhoads
Jeff Buckley
Jimi Hendrix
Keith Moon
Marvin Gaye
Bob Marley
Andrew Wood
Freddie Mercury
Johnny Cash
John Entwistle
Joey Ramone
Josh Clayton-Felt
John Baker Saunders
Doug Hopkins
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Phil Lynott
John Bonham
Bon Scott
Terry Kath
Ronnie Van Zant
Richie Valens
Buddy Holly
J.P. Richardson, aka The Big Bopper

And today, we learn that Elliott Smith is dead.

Dammit, why do all the GOOD MUSICIANS have to die? I feel like Denis Leary here. Just listen to his classic "No Cure For Cancer" concert and you'll know what I mean.
