His time didnt come. You say it like he wasnt to blame. The guy took loads of drugs!, they all did. It was the time, but you cant say that they're good role models. Kobain as you said was a terrible role model, but jimi was no better. Took some drugs, shagged some ladies, made some music (genius, no one better EVER. he's god) then died.
