When I was a teenager, I planned to be dead by 23. Then after 23 came and went, I wanted to at least make the 27 club. Now I'm 31 and it's too late to die young.
Jimi had visions and he wanted to create music to express what he saw. He would try to explain this to people, but it didn't make sense because it was not linked to reality in any way.
Janis Joplin 1943-1970
She was so inspiring by singing blues music when it wasn't culturally acceptable for white women, and she wore her heart on her sleeve. She was so witty and charming and intelligent.
Amy Winehouse 1983-2011
she is very different to what people portray her as being. Yes, she does get out of her mind on drugs sometimes, but she is also a very clever, intelligent, witty, funny person who can hold it together.
Jim Morrison 1943-1971 (The Doors)
an American rock singer and songwriter. He studied film, where he met the members of what would become The Doors, an iconic band and he would be known for his drinking, drug use and outrageous stage behavior.
Brian Jones 1942-1969 (The Rolling Stones)
increasingly regal clothes and increasingly long hair, they were called “a bunch of perishing cissies.” Brian, who himself fancied coats with velvet collars, again spoke out. “Intolerant bunch. We’re getting it all the time, but we’ll never change. It’s that lot across there who’re the trouble makers. They’re the ones who lack politeness and they’ve got no excuse. They’re old enough to know better.”
Kurt Cobain 1967-1994 (Nirvana)
Cobain was the kind of person who believed in kindness and treating people justly and with respect. He flitted between narcissism, empathy, love and pain, trying to enjoy his life and simply be himself, but not feeling it, over-feeling everything else instead. the rock legend, was known for turning introverted in social situations. Kurt would sometimes sit alone in a corner for hours without saying a word.
I don't know how my life would look if I didnt start listening to Nirvana. They basically made me who I am.
Kurt, you died too soon. You could do so much good in your life. But you only saw darkness at the end. I wish you could live to the moment when you would understand how much everyone care about you and need you.
