I guess gone are the days of the true rock and roll icons. I heard about this documentary the boys from Metallica made about them all going to therapy together to work out their "issues". Just this past week I was told they were on the Jane Pauley show (or whatever the name of the afternoon talk show is) to talk about this succesful "therapy". THIS IS NOT HOW OUR ROCK AND ROLL HEROES ARE SUPPOSED TO END UP! WTF boys, I though the Black Album was a sellout, what is this shit?!? Maybe for regular Joe Schmoes this is OK, but you guys were among the hardest rockers of your time, you are supposed to end up found dead in a hotel room, clutching a bottle of Jack Daniels, overdosed from snorting crank off a hookers ass, NOT IN THERAPY! This is your duty to us, the rock and roll generation. So if your not too busy in therapy, or Oprah, and if you can get that whiny bitch Lars to take a timeout from crying about everone stealing songs off the internet, maybe, just maybe you can go out and get a J-walking ticket so we know you still got it. 
I guess the days of Bonn Scott and Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and the like are really over, maybe Lane Staley closed the door on this kind of thing, and Michael Hutchenson does not count, dying from a freak masturbation accident does not cut it.
For those interested the local radio staion has a lst of rockers who died in rock star fashion over the years, along with some not-so-outstanding ways to go:

*jimi hendrix (see "barbituates") (1970)
*janis joplin (see "heroin") (1970)
*jim morrison (see "alcohol") (1971)
*brian jones (see "drowning") (1969)
kurt cobain (see "heroin""suicide") (1994)
*robert johnson (see "poison") (1938)
al "blind owl" wilson (see "heroin") (1970)
