I know this is a weird question. I just got to thinking about all those that have died. Kind of like the Kennedy's curse. Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, John Denver, Patsy Kline, Otis Redding, Aaliyah, Ricky Nelson... Can you think of anyone else killed that way?

I know I know, I'm over analyzing way too much. I just can't sleep and my mind won't stop with the racing thoughts.

I think the bigger question is why so many recording artists have died at the age of 27. Jimi hendrix, jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Chris Bell, Kurt Kobain, Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, peter Ham, D. Boon, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, Kristen Pfaff...I'm fast approaching 27 and I am beginning to wonder if I will join this club
I grew up not that far from the lake where Otis Redding died. I remember going out there with my parents for memorials.

stupidity played part of it
John Denver and John Kenedy were not that good of pilots, and they paid the price for it. Crashes according to the NTSB are 1/3 pilot error, 1/3 weather related, 1/3 mechanical failure. So there is no coincidence, just a series of crashes with explainable failures. The fact that famous people happen to be in the aircraft in question is a sidebar to history. Legendary guitarisy Steve Ray Vaughn died in a chopper crash after leaving a concert, it was pilot error that killed him and the pilot, he had just happend to be booked on a flight that could have been another routine flight had not the pilot blown it all.

No kidding!!!! I thought it was wierd too, but it turns out there is this guy in China or India (cant remember which) who is an excellent guitar player and singer. He is about 60 now, but he kept causing these air "incidents" in hopes of clearing the center stage. However, he and his guitar (sytar?) never left Africa. Last I heard, he was a magician, working the circuit in the far east.
I know this is a weird answer, but it was a weird question. Just think about it!

Ronnie Van Zant, and some of the Lynyrd Skynyrd band.

I don't think it's a curse. I think they are just on planes more often, so it increases their chances of being in a crash. You just hear about it more cause they're famous.

ah on a morbid stage in life, well lots of famous people have died of AIDS and many other things like bullets, plane crashes are the worst of our worries, let's focus on something cheerful if you really need to spend a moment in the black and white and really see life for what it can be with discipline and nature with nurture watch the wonderful movie "Off the map" you will not only see where you should go you will find it! :)
