R.I.P.

EDIT: It was pretty tasteless the way I titled this, but apparently I can't change it. Mod, will you please edit it? Thanks. And my apologies to anyone I offended. I wasn't thinking.

Could you have thought of a a less respectful way to phrase this?

 

[zoney!]

Thank you DaveC...the way you handled this saves me from getting criticized by starting a thread.

Alright, I gotta say this:

I apologise to anyone whom I may have angered or offended with my previous title of the thread. I mean no honest disrespect to Mr. James, it was just an idiotic, non-thinking move on my part.

Please everyone, accept my apologies.

At least he didn't kill himself like that coward Cobain.

 

[Bunbury]

Damn, I honestly thought he died a while ago

Comments like that are unnecessary and tasteless.
