^ Yeah, I didn't know that. Didn't know he was buried at sea either.I feel he deserves more than being just a name on a list -
and no mention of his captainship either
EDIT: yeah, perhaps you're right, Psy-Fi

^ That's a coincidence, Neapolitan! I particularly like Blind Willie McTell's headstone, which explains a lot in a few short words. It taught me his real name, and that he was just a 58-year-old youngster when he died.

^ "True dat" as some people say. Jim Morrison's grave must be one of the most famous in the rock pantheon. Something that makes specially sad imo is that the guy was buried so far from home. Pet_Sounds makes a valid point about Jim's poor neighbours, but I rather like all the graffitti and poor taste. Hey, that's rock 'n' roll, man!
.... which is why I also like Phil Lynott's, Trollheart; nothing says "rock fans were here" more than bits of garish junk left lying around - although having said that, those plectrums are a really touching tribute. From other guitarists I imagine.
