Dead Entertainers club

[HerringRollins]

Of all the musicians, comedians, or entertainers who are no longer here, who would be your choice to see live in concert? Why?

I would choose Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Never got to see either of them.

Jimi, who was influenced by some of the blues greats, has been an inspiration to thousands of musicians and aspiring musicians. I remember learning the guitar as a kid, playing the base riffs from Purple Haze, and wishing I could have met or jammed with him. He was the kind of talent that comes along once in a generation. Too bad drugs took his life, but he lives on through his music.




Also wish I could have seen Janis. With a bottle of Southern comfort in one hand, mic on the other, she epitomized the wild rock and roll life. Too bad it killed her, but it would have been great to see her just one time.

I would give anything to see Johnny Cash in concert. He led a troubled life, and didn't care much what others thought about it.
