I sing hotel California at karaoke.
He will be missed for sure. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

2016 has been a fucking shit year so far.
Know who else died at 67?
Every other person in the world who died at that age since the beginning of time. Oh, but you don't know of them because they were not famous. Fuck your famous mentality. People die the same, no matter what. If a man you don't know dies, he dies without your recognition. Now you see your fucking problem?

Cry me a fucking river Kitan, famous or more well-known individuals will always get reported in the news - us normal folk won't, it's the way life has been for fucking ever. If you're desperate to get a news report when you die, go out and do something worthy of recognition. Life is unfair, deal with it. (January 19, 2016 at 2:41 am)Kitan Wrote: Know who else died at 67? Such hostility. You know, if you knew this sort of news was going to get you fired up, you could have just not posted in this thread and found another thread to post in.

But there is absolutely nothing wrong with fame, as long you aren't using your power to oppress others. And while it would be good to go after our flooded climate of mind rot media, there is nothing wrong with entertainment itself. All forms of art are extremely important to society. Yes Glenn Frey was just a man. There certainly will be more musicians that wont get to where he got just as good as he was. But he got there, and people liked his music.

Ok, you either don't give a shit that Frey is dead (fair enough) or you think no one else should unless they personally knew the man (fuck you). It's not star worship or whatever you imagine it might be. A guy who wrote some songs that were a part of people's lives died, and he's being paid some small tribute. Somehow, I don't see that as my "fucking problem". Would you feel better if we took up a collection? We could erect a Tomb of the Unknown Dude Who Died at 67. That would be nice. And the eulogies would be short and sweet. Yep, we all die alone in the end. Death is the great leveler. Some people die famous; most don't; and it's not all fair. If that's your point, why bother pointing it out? You think a bunch of atheists need your Captain Obvious intervention on that score? Or did you just need to vent your spleen in another thread? Mr. Frey had a line you might benefit from: "Lighten up while you still can." |
