Writer's Block: Untimely Passing
Dec. 8th, 2008 03:09 am[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.
