Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith - grieving is a form of idolatry and of today's scene, only Pete Doherty would fit the bill. Their songs make us feel we know them intimately so when they die, it's like the death of our confidantes. It says a lot about today's society that a song like this was actually needed.
