Joe Strummer made it to 50, but that's still way too young, especially as he was doing some really good stuff again with the Mescaleros.

Pete DeFreitas, Echo and the Bunnymen's drummer.

Otis Redding.

Charlie PArker.

Mozart.

Eveleyn Preer, African-American blues singer of the 1920's or thereabouts.

I thought I'd give Fats Waller a proper mention.

Thomas Wright 'Fats' Waller died of pneumonia aged 39. Not only prolific, but also consistently wonderful, he penned a great number of trad jazz standards, as well as several others for which he sold the rights for quick cash ('On The Sunny Side of the Street', for example).

His classics include an early co-written anti-racism piece, "What Did I Do (To Be So Black and Blue)?" (which became a hit for Louis Armstrong), 'The Joint is Jumpin', the frenetic 'A Handful of Keys' and the sublimely lovely 'Ain't Misbehavin'.

A great pianist (and organist), his style varied from the trad jazz for which he is famous, to Bach's organ pieces, to brathtaking improvisations.

Nikki Sudden, formerly of the Swell Maps just died this week. There's been no offficial word of how he died even; he apparently played an anti-bush benifit the night before. Seems like so many punk rockers are dropping dead around fifty.

i wonder why....

Everyneurotic · 04.01.2006, 08:55 PM

rolling stone magazine called...

...they have a cease and desist order on the subject of rock n' roll deaths. they also want $10 000 000 in royalties since they own the rights to the mention of the names "jimi hendrix" and "kurt cobain".
