Can anyone recommend anything insightful that's been written about posthumuous worship of dead pop stars?
or say something insightful your own damn self, if you like.
any era is cool, from johnny ace to biggie smalls.

dead pop stars rotting in the studio
pretty bodies make the little girls scream
dead pop stars hear them on the radio
pretty bodies every little girls dream
hello hello i'm back again
you can touch me but only for a moment
testing testing 1,2,3
i am the poster on your wall
and now i've had my 15 minutes
i'm just another memory
an embarassing part of your youth
don't leave me dying here
don't leave me dying here
remember how much you used to love me?
you did love me didn't you?
don't leave me dying here
dead pop stars
dead pop stars
dead pop stars
dead pop stars rotting in the studio
hear them on the radio
dead dead dead dead dead

Jimmy Morrison and Jimi Hendrix and John Bonham and Sid Vicious
are DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!
Pulled the plugs on themselves!
Dead rock 'n rollers, they were outta-controllers
Guess they felt lame so they snuffed their brain
and now they're DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!
Caught themselves the big buzz!
I mean, I was never crazy about John Lennon
but at least he didn't drown to death in his own puke
And what about YOU, Jim Carroll?
All your friends have!
What are you waiting for!
DOOO ITTT!

(roughly transcribed; I'm missing a few dead rock 'n rollers in the transition)

Blow Away (for Bill)
One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B
Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.
Put out the light, then, put out the light.
Vibes in the sky invite you to die.
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here
