Mine are Jimi Hendrix, Layne Staley, and Martin Luther King Jr. There's others as well, but these three really bring me down. What three people went too soon for you?
Death
Concept »
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Three people that went too soon?
Bill Hicks, Joe Strummer, and Jeff Healey.
"Bill Hicks, Joe Strummer, and Jeff Healey."Joe Strummer is dead!?! FUCK, MAN!!!!
Some more fodder to add would be Gandhi, Edgar Allen Poe, and Freddie Mercury.
"jakob187 said:Dood, Strummer died right before the Grammys in 2002...and he was nominated for, like, 3 awards. It was fucking sad, man. I balled my eyes out like a fucking sissy when he died."Bill Hicks, Joe Strummer, and Jeff Healey."Joe Strummer is dead!?! FUCK, MAN!!!!I agree with Bill Hicks, too, what a shame. Still, though . . . god damn."
I honestly have no clue how listening to Alice in Chains and thinking about celebrity deaths can depress someone badly.
Not totally sure what mine are but Lennon and Mercury definitely went too soon.
"I honestly have no clue how listening to Alice in Chains and thinking about celebrity deaths can depress someone badly.Alice in Chains is so depressing to me just because I know that the fuel behind the songs ended up killing Staley.

-Madelyn Dunham, Barack Obama's grandmother died last night. I don't think I need to explain why that is so tragic.
-Tim Russert.
-Duane Allman.
"Oh, I get yuh. I know like nothing about Alice in Chains."Every song they wrote was about drug abuse in a not so subtle way. So, yeah, it's depressing.BiggerBomb said:

I am so happy to see a lack of Heath Ledger mentions...
- Freddie Mercury
- Tim Russert
- Phil Hartman (I am picking him because of the tragic way that he died) ...
@BiggerBomb: ...I agree that all death is tragic and that Madelyn Dunham's death is sad, but this is supposed to be people who went too soon. She died at the age of 86...That is a longer life than most people get to live...

It's too soon because she died one day shy of her grandson possibly becoming the first African-American President of the United States of America. If you ask me, that's dying too soon.
"I am so happy to see a lack of Heath Ledger mentions...She still went just days before her grandson possibly became the first black president. She would have been so proud. That means she did go too soon. A few weeks to soon, if only.

The actor? He's alive. Is there an Owen Wilson who was in the WWE? If so, they are not the same person.
"Yeah, like I said, I was thinking of Owen Hart, Bret Hart's brother."
I typed my response as you were editing, apparently.

I'm not saying his death wasn't tragic, I do have to ask why you think he deserves a spot next to JFK and Kurt Cobain (which are odd comparisons as is.)
"Fuck, I totally FORGOT about Eddie!!! That shit sucked...BUT...that's what you get when you smoke crack rocks."Eddie was just on painkillers and alcohol, wasn't he? I say 'just' but it works in context. It's incredibly tragic though how he got himself back on the straight and narrow and then dies just before his second big run on the top when you have people who are just junkie addict wastes living for ever.

No one else wants to be depressed, Ark. That's why we're reminiscing instead of harping on it.
Now, am I saying that I think it's great that a human life was lost? No. That would be far too assholish of me. However, I hate that people put this fucker on some kind of pedestal like he was worth something. This is the same fucking dood that acted in 10 Things I Hate About You, A Knight's Tale, The Order...I mean, fucking seriously? And people make him out like he's something amazing? Just because he donned the green hair and the red smile and pulled a Brandon Lee (he's another one that I sit back and go "what the fuck are you people talking about")?!?! Fuck that shit.

What did Vinchenzo say?
"No one else wants to be depressed, Ark. That's why we're reminiscing instead of harping on it.Yeah, sorry for bringing down the mood. Death really doesn't sadden me. I think of it as a natural step in life that we all take. But, in the same way that I feel about a kid losing his virginity at age 7, I feel really concerned for the human condition when I think about all these people that went so soon.
