Still a close minded asswipe, huh? Don't assume that because someone respects someone who unfortunately lost their battle to an addiction, that they haven't dealt with it first hand. For the bazillionth time, it's all about the person, not the addiction. I don't think anyone has a "rose tinted appeal of sitting with someone who threw their life away"...I'm positive it's more like a "rose tinted appeal" of someone who touched their life.
For someone who supposedly works with, or deals with, people with drug addiction, or whatever you supposedly do, you should have a way better understanding of what addiction actually is. I, too, feel sorry for you...& believe me, there's plenty of reason to.
yaaaaawwwwnnnnnn
resorting to name calling as usual huh? still its to be expected!
the guy asked why there hadnt been many votes for Layne Staley... my answer is and will always be... that in the grand scheme of things he played an insignificant cultural role in the formation of youth unlike say John Lennon, Hendrix, et al... he maybe a big part of yours or the original postee's life, but it shouldn't beg the question of "why havent more chosen LS".... let people pick who they want.
i dont understand why in the pantheon of true greats that have walked this earth... people of true cultural significance... that he or you would want to pick that guy at your fantasy table, but thats whats great about forums... i'm entitled to my opinion as much as the next person.... so dont castigate me for mine please
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
I realised all of this from your signature... i was trying to answer your question firstly in jest, then secondly with a more thought induced response..
you asked "how come many havent said Layne?"... i was just trying to answer.. sorry
ok sorry for being testy. but in all honesty, i cant imagine choosing anyone else id like to sit at a table with more
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
and Layne is one of my favourite artists of all time, but I don't know that I'd be too interested in a conversation. He seemed like a normal guy. I picked the weird ones!

George Harrison
Neil Peart
Dave Mustaine
Honorable mention: Bob Marley...I've had a conversation with his sons Ziggy and Stephen Marley but hearing Bob's music and political mind would have been great.
