Earlier this week Don T served up a touching tribute to our dear departed friend the Wee Baby Seamus. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: nobody contributed more to Request Line than tWBS did. Whether it was filling in for me when I couldn’t get my shit together, or just contributing his heart out every week, the man clearly had a lot of music in his heart. And like many great rock stars, he lived fast, loved hard, and died (relatively) young. So I thought in tribute to a year since his passing, today’s topic would be a pretty simple one: artists who left the stage tragically early. I’ll get us started with one of the most talented (and troubled) young women who ever stepped in front of a microphone.

In my defense:
1) I’m hammered
b) I searched for Tupac like a fucking lily white nerd
#) I refrained from posting a biggie video
I rest my case. Let’s move on to the sexy.

For anyone that wants some inspiration, I suggest this web page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_murdered_hip_hop_musicians
I don’t think we need to be inspiring people to murder hip hop musicians, Mr. Ayo.
Well
That’s my jam!
I’m not dogging you, I’m dogging Spur.
And, yes. I would like some sexy.
As you wish, sir.
Got away with one there!
Shh. Be cool!
Don’t get me in trouble with internet dad, again.
I know nothing!
RIP, Andre Rison’s house.
This one was a bummer.
Brad Delp was 55 but he suicided. He was the lead singer of Boston and a key figure in the phenomenon that was “1970’s-Era White People Arena Rock”. I’ve got a question. Foghat. Anyone dead? Itching to post “Slow Ride”.

I think Lonesome Dave Peverett passed a few years ago….
In Eazy;s case, NWA stood for Not Without AIDS.
Rikki mentioned Shane McGowan earlier; Kirsty MacColl was killed by a boat.
Oh yeah. In front of her kids. Turrible.
Kevin O’Leary really needs to stop letting his wife drive.

Good bathing music.

Say what you will about Ike Turner, but he’s one of the inventors of rock and/or roll as we know it, and he had the good taste to die before Tina.
Jesus.
(a favoUrite tWBS meme, if I recall correctly, although if also recalled correctly he would beat me to death for saying he meme’d)
I read her autobiography way back when-he always demeaned her as an artist (a small part of his despicable behavior, yes) but was speechless when she walked out of the recording studio after singing this ditty.

Drop the mike on Ike.
Saw the documentary on Tina that came out recently… Very recommended. Tina went through some shit & still came out on top.
Oh, hell yeah. I once spent maybe a good two hours talking to an Italian girl about Jeff Buckley at her birthday party at an apartment in Dublin. Or was in Belfast? I thought I was going to score for sure. But I didn’t!
“spent a good two hours talking about Jeff Buckley” and you thought you were going to score???
Oh you sweet summer child.
His first choice was probably Leonard Cohen, smgdh…
“Surely my intensive emersion in the world of Gregorian chant will get me into those pants!”
At least it wasn’t the Indigo Girls. Or Anne Murray.
MFer gets diagnosed with terminal cancer, puts together his best album in years:
Fuck, that’s a great value pick this late.
I had no idea the Bee Gees did this song until I saw the HBO documentary. The documentary is very good. Anyway, two of ’em are dead, so here’s the song.
Two things he loved doing were Victoria Principal and coke.
I see dead singers I post dead singers.
You want me to read the post? I only got 15 mins until the next CC
Who is seeing dead singers? There’s a pill for that.

Speaking of CC-hopefully one of the guys in this vid is dead.

No idea if anyone involved in this band is dead, but tWBS used to post this all the time, so here it is again.
It’s a good song.
Not extremely young, but younger than me

Back when my kid was very young and we asked him to do something and he got angry he always replied, “I NOT!!!”. This is where we are right now.
You can also have both pages open, and just do a ctrl+F to search for the band/musician name in question…
Husker Du’s drummer Grant Hart. Hell of a musician/singer in his own right.
lol yes
Jeebus! Nick fookin’ Drake has been posted by now.
St Peter: “So you were in The Beach Boys”
Dennis Wilson: “Yep”
St Peter: “And you drowned?”
Dennis Wilson: “Yep”
St Peter: “Woulda been safer to be in The Land Boys imo”
Dennis Wilson: “You’re kind of a dick”

Shoulda been you, Mike.
A million times this.
Great late round value. You get an all-expenses paid holiday in Trench Town. Good Luck!
Sadly, Ozzy got all Randy Rhoads’s unused years.

I was just going to put up Rhoads. Unlike his pilot.
Fucking amazing guitarist.

Is Sally a Nazi from Australia? Because we’ve been over this.
Here’s a song not covered by Ugly Kid Joe
“Yeah, too young.”
“Well, he was over 50…”
“No, I mean his sex partners.”
Will also apply to Jimmy Page…eventually.
If you’re ever in the mood to get screamed at for hours, ask a Who fan why Pete Townsend was on all those kiddie porn sites.
It was research and/or he was saving those kids, right?
That’s what he told the cops, yes.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better headline (that wasn’t associated with an actual story) than the Onion’s “Pete Townsend Can’t Explain”.
Gonna stay in denial about that.
(apparently he’s just awful)
What if you’re still alive, but killed your career with what might me the worst video ever?
But he ripped his shirt in a masculine way.
Oh God, the dancing! Put me out of my misery!
I’ve posted so many songs, I’m almost out of gas. HOLD ON! I’ve got another one.

If you’re wondering what a talented artist can do with a cover song and why I shed tears in a Toronto traffic jam while going through a breakup while listening to this-Behold!

Died in a fire, can’t think of a worse way to go

Yeah, very bad, but not nearly as common as it used to be. Or should be.

Tribute to tWBS?
Terrible song? Check
Dead singer? Check

I fucking hate The Doors
Two in a row!
You are doing well today.
You shut up.
BE BEST
You sure he was talking about Buddy?
Not any more.

/but of a deep cut, but maybe some folks will remember him.
I scrolled through quick, so maybe I missed her, (and if I did I apologize), but if I didn’t you all suck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SL0oRcD7t0
And there’s no way Seamus isn’t ducking her calls right now.
You owe an apology and we don’t suck. Except the one guy.
Had to scroll through again but yes, Rikki distracted me with a well played “Josh Brown: World’s Worst Uber Driver” joke, which will never not work.
Apologies are hereby conceded.
It becomes harder to search for previous postings when it goes into multi page mode…
Don’t make excuses for them.
Ooooh, Salty Spam! Which one sucks? You can tell me, I’m good at keeping secrets. Whisper it, so he can’t hear.
I think that’s just the Buddy Cole Signal.
Oh, duh. He needs to come around more often, so we don’t have to talk about him behind his back.
I understand he likes it from the back.
/Can’t put up a stronger signal than that
Spam is always salty. Or should be anyway.
Can’t list Sam without listing Otis. Sigh… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7T9HKmERv0

Damn! He was on my list.
Ghaa. Sorry. I’m poasting too much. I get carried away… I’ll lay off.
DO NOT DO THAT. I was just mad you beat me to it.
Damn. This is getting depressing… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-5zlj49ugk
Jeebus! This is like finding Deacon Jones in the 14th round. Anyone ever heard of Elvis? (not Grbac, btw)

They haven’t left us too soon, but
a) I wouldn’t mind if they retired
b) It’s got Evan Rachel Wood in a doomed relationship
c) He would have wanted this
d) Dude
RIP, ODB aka Big Baby Jesus.
/though is days-from-36 really young for a gangsta??
I think 36 equates to approximately 83 in gangsta rap years…
I was looking Biggie up, when I settled on ODB instead. “Notorious” is a fine film to watch shitfaced. He got busted for selling drugs in MY county when at university!
Terry Kath was a mean guitar player, also liked playing with guns when he thought they weren’t loaded.

Moon got mentioned below, but this guy went out in a blaze of coke and hookers at the Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas, which seems kind of poetic.

“Patsy Cline died in a plane crash” is my excuse to play this live version of Walking After Midnight by the Cowboy Junkies.
This one hurt as well. Just…why?

Always thought this song was about a fart.
I always hear the lyrics “Did ya hafta smell your finger” when I hear this song. I am demented.
Also known as “The Elevator Song”.
This was one of the few, non-horrid 90s bands that tWBS really liked!
So he really died from “Broken Clock Syndrome”. That’s a damn Seamus.
