Writer's Block: Untimely Passing

[Error: unknown template qotd]I was somewhat affected by John Lennon's death, but I was only ten, so it wasn't such a big thing.
What really got me was the car accident death of Razzle, Hanoi Rocks's drummer. I had just tentively embraced that band as the one that would get me through junior high, and then I lost them. It only made me more attached, a syndrome a friend years later called my "martyr complex". He was not wrong, the vast majority of my heroes either died young or should have. I can't seem to help it.

Date: 2008-12-08 06:51 pm (UTC)I think I was most affected by Eddie Guerrero's death of all of the wrestlers you mention, since I had seen him being interviewed on tv and stuff. I don't watch wrestling, but I liked him.
People dying in pointless accidents or from stalkers seem to affect me the most. It's the "situation out of your hands" factor.
