I have to agree with the saddest songs of Janis Joplin. She died way before her career had begun. Just think what she could have been and put to words and music.

We love you John Lennon and you will never be forgotton,you were the one musician in your time who truly cared what was going on,on this great earth,and you did not care what people thought of it.

Kurt's death is and will forever remain a mystery to some extent. But people seriously need to let him rest in peace. Leave him alone and quit going after him as if he were still alive! Get it? D-E-A-D
