The death of Jim Croce

 

This is an interesting one.  Jim had a gut feeling and changed his schedule.  He called the 57 year old pilot who ran more than 3 miles to get to the airport.  The plane then hit a pine tree at the end of the runway.  It's so bizarre, I guess the moral is "don't trust your gut feeling when you're Jim Croce".  A grueling tour of coffee houses playing folk music seems like a nightmare to me.  Maybe he went mad and the plane crash was a blessing that kicked his music to success so his family could get a better life.  The money probably went to the record label, though.

The death of Rick Nelson

 

And another band that bought their own plane and of course, it had to be an old beat up piece of shit.  But forget about the crash, because they managed to crash land without immediately killing everyone.  The burning question is, why didn't the pilots unlock the door to the cockpit?

Oh Grace, you got your own star at the Underdog!  Of course, I'm proud of you.

The plane crash of Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

Here's another band that bought their own plane and of course, it had to be an old beat up piece of shit.  This time, they ran out of fuel.  How dumb is that?  It almost seems like suicide...

The death of Otis Redding

 

Otis was the bandleader.  Yup, the bandleader.  He bought a cheap old plane to get his band to the gigs, and challenged the weather.  He needed every dollar to pay for his music and family, and couldn't afford to miss a single show.  That was how he died.  Easy to kill.

In other news, my source informs me that car break-ins in the US are increasing, and the perpetrators are strong and well-armed.  Please guard your stuff and your car, especially in the Bay area.  Maybe get some bulletproof windows.

The death of Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

Stevie Ray's death was caused by his schedule, which was made by his management, who could only blame the pilot.  What a helpless way to die.  Death by contractual obligations.

But you have to stick to schedule when you're a professional, so the fans know you care about them and the music.  I guess Stevie Ray should have traveled with his brother, I'm sure Jimmy got to the gig on time.  But how would Stevie Ray known that he was about to die?

The death of Buddy Holly

 

The death of Patsy Cline

 

I suppose you have figured out to watch the weather before flying.  You can't gamble against the weather, you can only prepare to be immersed in it.  For example, when I ride my motorcycle to go downtown against a potential thunderstorm, I can bring my raincoat and get ready to be drenched.  When you fly against bad weather, then be ready to die.  Put whatever fear you have in Allah.

Note that this plane crash wiped out Patsy Cline AND HER ALLIES.
