The death of lead singer Dolores of the Cranberries and Tom Perry, has 
led me to consider how super fame, affected musicians.  Some made it out 
alive, but it ruined many other people.   Every time I hear a song by 
one of these musicians, I find myself thinking about these things!

I barely knew the Cranberries songs, until now.   If you are like 
myself, you might be surprised by some of their music.   There are some 
hidden treasures, like this one:

This comes from their 3rd album, which got bad reviews, because their 
music turned too much to a harder rock sound.  On the other hand, a few 
songs like the above ones, were beautiful pop ones, buried at the end of 
the album.  It makes you wonder, what could have happened, if she did a 
whole album worth of these really poppy well produced songs.

And maybe I've been living in a shoe, but are there really a lot wacky 
videos, associated with famous musician's songs.   Like this one:

Tom Petty had a bunch of own very weird videos!

Weird, and a bit embarrassing.

P.S. Justin Timberlake in the Superbowl?   Sad...
