    Rock stars die earlier

    Gee, I'm glad they did a study on this because I wouldn't have been able to make that connection.

    I understand that rock stars drink and do lots of drugs--and that those things can kill you over time if not immediately.

    But what would compel a rock star to engage in autoerotic hanging, like Michael Hutchence?

    Probably the same thing that would compel anyone else to do that.

    According to what I've read, Michael was a big fan of fine wine and some other um, activities of a sexual nature, that were heightened by the sense of taste, which he apparently lost after a head injury a few years before his death.

    My mother is a nurse, and she says that autoerotic asphyxiation is more common than you would like to believe. It is never publicized because it is a suicide issue, which the papers don't cover.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    It could also be due to the poor medical outlook for impoverished American ex-pop stars who have no health insurance, he said.

    edit: I just pictured Britney Spears. Now it's kind of funny.

    For the record, I do not know anyone like Britney Spears.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    I think Ozzy Osbourne died sometime around 1985... at least his brain did.

    I read awhile back that Ozzy is on several different types of medication for his "demensia" which basically drugs you out alot.

    I have a cousin who has schizoprenia, and the daily medication they have him on has him walking around the house like a zombie while under his mother's care. If he goes of the medication, which he has, it's not pretty.
