I'm onside with Vermin here. I don't care if you think your life sucks like
a Hoover, if you choose to take the Big Dirt Nap, KNOWING people love
you/your music, but still insist on disrespecting your
family/friends/admirers, etc...then you are one more sign of God thinning
the herd.
Talent, shmalent, if you are self absorbed enough to take your own life at
the expense of all who care about you because of fame/lack of fame/the
horror of celebrity/whatever, then Adios, Bozo...don't wait up.
I'd rather get hit by a bus than sit through a conversation between Elliot
and Kurt about how tough their lives were...absolute, total, morons.
Heartless? These tragic, souless, self absorbed cry babies were
heartless...not those of us left watching the avoidable become the
inevitable. At least drowning in your own vomit is an accident.
