Good one Ted- didn't think I would fool you. Certainly the three lead actors of "Rebel" all dying young and tragically is a bizarre story, and sad indeed. It's affected me too. |

speaking of Jones, there was a book written in the late 70's/early 80's by a former Stones "insider" who claimed that he witnessed Brian Jones being murdered,(he admits he was high at the time) I think the title of the book was "up and down with the Rolling Stones" very interesting read. |

Originally it was assumed Brian Jones drowned in his swimming pool (ironic since he swam regularly and was apparently quite proficient). It was later discovered that Jones had been in a dispute with one of the workers at his estate throughout his final day, and at an evening party, this man had gotten into the pool with Brian and continued the argument. Brian was asthmatic and kept an inhaler nearby. The worker, who was much larger than him, started pushing Brian underwater, exacerbating his breathing problem. On the last push, Jones sank to the bottom of the pool. Everyone panicked at that point and quickly left the party. |

Brian Jones was an asthmatic...his inhaler was found at the side of the pool he drowned in....the autopsy revealed his internal organs to be in the condition of a man in his 50's (Jones was 26 at the time of his death).....imo he just drowned....his body gave out after all of the self-abuse |

How about Cliff Burton from Metallica. He was killed in a bus accident in Sweden he went through the window and the bus crushed him. |

Len- he very well may have drowned but that would assume he was swimming alone. According to later accounts, there were several people with him that night. I guess there is no way to ever know for sure. |

Reminising is my fave Buddy Holly song. I played the 45 over and over. Check it out. He was huge. My guess is that he listened to a lot of Hank Williams. |

Rob....Bobby Fuller's death is an open-ended story...was found in his car in Hollywood, beaten beyond recognition and with gasoline in his lungs...the coroner ruled it a suicide!....rumour has it that Fuller was seeing the girlfriend of a mobster |

Yea, I knew that Fuller's death was rumored to be somehow connected to the mob. A few of his songs are really good examples of classic 60's rock 'n' roll. And "I Fought The Law" has been covered countless amounts of times. |

Don't know if anyone's familiar with the story of r&b singer Johnny Ace's death, though I have a feeling Ted might be. After a string of hits in the early 50's, Ace supposedly shot himself to death with a 22 revolver,while playing Russian Roulette, backstage at the Civic Auditorium, in Houston, on Christmas Day. |

The Bobby Fuller Four's follow-up to "I Fought the Law" was "Love's Made a Fool of You", originally recorded by - Buddy Holly. |

Yes Johnny Ace is an often forgot about pioneer of Rock. Two other pioneers Bill Haley and Clyde McPhatter basically drank themselves to death, correct? Also I know there were some similar circumstances surrounding the death of blues guitarist Roy Buchanan (committed suicide). |

Yes, McPhatter and Haley were, according to what I have heard, very bitter, sad figures at the end. Buchanan received nowhere near the recognition his talent deserved. |
