mae brussels used to have a list of all the musicians that died since the 50s/60s.
everyone on that list brought a personal touch to their music, was generally bringing happiness. all of them were dying in freak plane crashes and drug overdoses well beyond the normal population. some blamed it on fame being to much for them, but i think our cia had a hand in removing those talented musicians because they were a leader of another type.
when malcom x came out of a jail with a man wrongfully accussed released, he used his hand to wave off the mob. police chief at the time said that is to much power for a man to have..
“You gotta remember, establishment, it’s just a name for evil. The monster doesn’t care whether it kills all the students or whether there’s a revolution. It’s not thinking logically, it’s out of control.”
—John Lennon (1969)
