Unbelievable. Yet another famous musician dead, dead, dead. At this rate, there will be nobody left to make music. When will the madness end? We've already lost Lou Reed, who took a walk on the wild side and never came back. That guy who played on Blue Oyster Cult but I can't remember his name (but he was good). And the list goes on...

Ray Manzarek of the Doors will never play that creepy organ music again. That one dude who drummed for those two rock bands - gone forever! Bob Welch with those Ebony Eyes and Donna Summer, both dead and gone.

Half the Beatles and 2/3 of the BeeGees dead dead dead. Andy Gibb too. Davy Jones of the Monkees is now in, well, Davy Jones' locker. So is Gerry Rafferty and Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols. Doug Fieder of the Knack, can you believe that? That's the dude who sang "My Sharona" in the summer of 1979 and dealt a death blow to disco.

And the list of the dead go on and on. John Stewart, Al Wilson, Wilson Pickett, Debbie Harry, Andrew Gold, Warren Zevon, Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone.

I can keep going but I think I made my point. We are very quickly running out of musicians and soon there will be no more music being made unless we find a way to make it stop.

I think Keith Richards may actually have died in the 80’s as well but no one has had the courage to tell him.

Take Debbie Harry off your dead list. She’s alive and touring with Blondie!

There are plenty of excellent musicians out there, performing their music and making albums.

You just don't like their music, in the same way that fans of Paul Whiteman and Artie Shaw hated Wilson Pickett and Johnny Cash.

Debbie Harry is alive and still working.
