I've been a record collector since I was a senior in high school, and over a period of years I bought stacks of records by each one of the artists named above. I loved the music they made, and I was sad every time one of them died. Their departures left empty spaces in my world.
One of the things I hate about life is that so many people who made my life better were gone too soon, but a few assholes who keep things constantly fucked up seem to live forever.
