Example (1995)
Like most rock n’ roll deaths, the ones affecting this band make me wonder what could have been, musically. I don’t call the event a “tragedy”, because the death of any decent human being is just as tragic and worthy of mourning. As to the musical quality here, it does seem as if we may have been robbed of something good. The two hits show two starkly different sides, always a good sign unless you’re AC/DC or The Cure or Depeche…oops, sorry, I appear to have rambled a bit. Am I a bit more touched by them given the circumstances? Yes, probably. But it’s still a shame, for life and for music.
