You know there is something about an artist's death that realy sucks.
That
is the fact that when an artist dies after that there is a mass
hysteria
about him/her about how great they were. Look Cobain or Hutcheons(I
probably spelled it wrong). After their death there were so much noise
about their greatness and people claimed that Nirvana's music made them
reconsider their lives, called INXS a legend. Before Michel H died I
knew
no more than I a dozen of people who liked INXS and after that
everybody
was mad abou them. So what is the conclusion? If you want people to
like
you and respect your music you have to kill yourself or something. I'm
sure
that some time after they confirm Layne's death there will be a lot of
teens who hardly know other music beyond Linkin Park and DMX who will
"realize the artistic genius of Layne".
And then comes the whole deal about the unreleased songs of Layne. I'm
sure
that they(the record companies) will release whatever they find with
Layne's voice even some records of him singin Happy Birday and they
will
relate it somehow with Get Born Again or something like that.

The whole story around dead musicians realy sucks.



The world is loaded, it's lit to pop, nobody is gonna stop!
