While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

i just can't stand all the jokes people made after her death, saying she choked on a sandwich and whatnot. I was happy her family cleared that up on the documentary. I think it was behind the music or a & e.

I don't remember them. But, I love oldies and classic rock. So, I've certainly heard their music. They were very good.

Reminds me of the movie Hackers when Cereal (Matthew Lillard) is hocking a dubbed cassette compilation of artists that asphyxiated on their own vomit.

I wish I was there for Mama Cass, Grateful Dead, Joplin, Hendrix and The Beatles (John Lennon was murdered about 2 years before I was born).

I can't help but look back upon them with satirical eyes from the removed future.
