i was just thinking about that today, when listening to the Dead on Reckoning, and how crazy it was that Spinal Tap, and the GD had this commonality. and then even weirder when I was just looking for a new wallpaper, and found this. RIP to all of them, they have brought so much joy, and obviously suffering to those, and all they loved with untimely death. I have done every drug, and combination, and lethal amounts under the sun, and this is a lesson. Thanks for the insight, writer of article
