i simply don't feel that people who either kill themselves or die through an act of stupidity (like sticking a needle in your arm when you have two babies depending on you) qualify as "losses".

as for the suicide bit, i fail to see itas direct stupidity. people with that level of depression aren't functioning on in any manner similar to you or i. in most cases they just tired of everything, so killing yourself becomes a very simple and in some cases the only from of any release.

it's not sensible in any measure, but then neither is depression.

as for the drug overdose thing i'm less sympathetic towards. i think most people tend to understand the basic equation of hard drugs + long term use = death.

I don't miss Dimebag What's-his-name. I wouldn't call his death a "greivous loss" to the music world. To his family, yes; Music...No.
But, it is a loss to some.
I agree with most of you on the rest - although, I would have placed Harrison above Lennon.

Believe it or not, it's a secret video made of Hawkboy(or whiner) complaining about me!!! LOL
It's saying, "I Hate Adrenochrome, so, I'm going to whine about everything he says!"
Just kidding, my Canuck friend!

Where is Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, Ricky Nelson, Skynard, metalicas bass player and the Black Sabath boys?

i think natural causes are just as tragic - either way, the music world has lost them...i don't think a sudden death is the only qualifier.

and, what black sabbath boys? everyone from black sabbath is still alive.
