Come on, "supporting radiohead", what a tragedy.

You have got a point, i mean, supporting radiohead, what a tragedy.

Oh yeah did somebody die or something?

Supporting Radiohead in 1996 is a bit of different thing but don't let that some you from being a prick.

he made exceptionally beautiful music and he won't be making beautiful music anymore. that's a fucking tragedy. and not a complicated concept.

and supporting radiohead? whether you like them or not, it'd be idiotic not to take advantage of a break when you get one.

I guess I can see how for someone to have supported radiohead you get all this outpouring of grief and sadness. But that was back in 1996, why wait till 2010 to take your own life? I guess the grief was eating him up inside and he could not take it anymore.
