dont you love listening to this song...really loud, in the car, with the windows rolled down, and you're alone, and there's no one else on the street, and everything is perfect

You and many other hearts...

In reply to michaelstmark: probably yes, he was too good for this world. And for this reason he should have stayed. But he had already given so much...

Yes, there early deaths did add to their legend and icon status, but all those you mentioned had cult status before they died. They had something about them that made them cool, special and unique. I always wonder how Joy division would have turned out if Curtis had lived. Sadly, we will never know.

Another dead genius--the list is too long.

Like Van Gogh, Hendrix, Lennon and Bruce Lee, Ian was too good for this world. All truly creative people would wish they'd had the chance to meet this guy in S. Manchester in '79/80.
