Hankg42 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not to minimize the contributions of these artists, but I have an opinion that many who die young and / or tragically have a legacy that is much more inflated than if they had lived out a normal life. ("It's better to burn out than to fade away.") I'd name some names, but that would likely start trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't be thinking about Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, James Dean or that guy from Seattle (kurt something) could you? ALL overrated. It's always amazed me how great people become once they're dead.

Hendrix was a master at his trade and Kurt Cobain brought in the grunge style of music that most would compare to the beatles invasion on how big Nirvana was... The other two were also great in their profession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
