ABOUT THE ROCKERS ...
THERE IS A REASON WHY ROCKERS CAN MOVE MOST OF THE REGULAR FOLKS WITH THEIR MUSIC.
OFTEN TIMES IT IS DUE TO THE EXPERIENCES THEY HAVE HAD IN LIFE AND THEIR RESPONSES TO THEM.
I WAS A FAN OF ELVIS PRESLEY AS A KID AND THE DAY MY FATHER TOLD ME HE DIED IT WAS LIKE A HAMMER CAME DOWN ONTO ME AND MY LIFE HAD CHANGED FOREVER.
AS TIME WENT ON AND I READ THAT WHITNEY HOUSTON WAS GONE AND SLASH HAD HEART FAILURE AND ALMOST DIED ... I WAS GLAD THAT I QUIT ANY AND ALL SORTS OF DRUGS LONG AGO.
IT STARTED WITH JANIS JOPLIN JIMI HENDRIX AND THEN THE KING OF LYRICAL INTELLIGENCE JAMES MORRISON...
SINGERS LIKE WHITNEY, MICHAEL JACKSON AND PRINCE LEFT FINANCIAL FORTUNES TO RELATIVES AND SOME FRIENDS BUT CAUSED MANY OF US TO BE WITHOUT THEM FOREVER MORE AND LOSE THE MADNESS THEY OFFERED TO US ONSTAGE .
SLOWLY BUT SURELY THEY TOOK THE LIMELIGHT, LIVED THEIR HIGH FLYING LIVES AND THEN FELL PAST THE FLOOR.
MANY TIMES IT CAME TO WHOM THEY STARTED TO HANG OUT WITH OR MARRY.
SEE THE REAL CAUSE OF WHITNEY HOUSTON'S DEATH ...
DIVORCES,REHAB OR OVERDOSES SEEM TO BE THE DESTINY FOR SO MANY OF THEM THAT OFTEN TIMES I WONDER IF WORKING FOR THE PRODUCERS OF PRINCE IN MY HOME TOWN WAS REALLY ALL THAT COOL?
IN RETROSPECT I THINK KIDS SHOULD LOVE WHAT THEY DO OR SAY ONSTAGE BUT REALIZE OFTEN TIMES WHAT THEY DO TO THEMSELVES IS BECAUSE OF SEVERE ELEMENTS OF PAST AND PRESENT TIMES THAT ARE NOT SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE WOULD EVER WISH TO ENDURE.
MOST OF US ARE LIVING PAST THE AGE OF SEVENTIES THESE DAYS SO WHY ARE ROCKERS DYING IN OR BEFORE THEIR FIFTY'S ?
MAYBE IT IS TIME THAT FANS TELL THEM HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO THEM AND HOW MUCH THEY WISH THEY LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BECAUSE WE WISH TO SEE THEM AROUND FOREVER.
