I think what J-me was trying to get across was that the story of a former Pantera guitarist being shot to death while playing a small club is not really news that most people would care about. But, the media shoves it down our throats and forces us to care about it...one way or the other.
Personally....I feel terrible that anyone, anywhere, dies of a murder by gun, or knife, or jelly filled doughnut.....but I don't hear about every Tom, Dick and Ernie's fatal moments on the news! I really really really did care when I heard Lennon was shot and killed. That's real news. I, probably much like J-me Vermin, (although, I am not speaking for him on this count) don't really care whether "Pantera's" guitarist was killed because in the great book of rock and roll hierarchy, Pantera is hardly a hair on that rats ass. So, it's not that I don;t care about the death...or any death by murder..I do. I just do not need to hear about every mediocre music related casualty.
It seem like the old "Beatles are popular than Christ" comment to me.....
J-Me...I love you my friend! (Keep sending free Bullseye releases!! :-} )
