Oh I get it. Your saying not everyone is gay . No I'm sure they aren't. I just liked the line...It was very revealing as to Cobains psycology.
(maybe he was saying 'gay' as in 'weak' . Much the same way some people say ' your a girl' and imply you are weak)

Jim Morrison. i would,ve love to have heard his solo stuff after splitting from the Doors.
His poetry would've no doubt become even more twisted .

We take for granted some of his great lines,(ie."you know the day destroys the night/ night becomes the day"😉

I find Morrison to be a rather poor lyricist, but Manzarek surely is a skilled composer. Too bad he is so modest.

Yeah, you're right.
Still he had the odd classic line you'll have to admit.

Was it untimely? What was the life expectancy in Roman Palestine? On the other hand, if we ask what the life expectancy was for 33-year-old males in Roman Palestine, we enter into a line of thought that makes most deaths untimely.

Well actually for that day and age Jesus probably had pasted the average age of death allready. Think I read somewhere that the average age of death back then was in the twenties - like 25 or so. Of course many lived much longer but you have to average in all the children and youngsters that died because of famine, plague, and whatnot. Just mentioned the son of god because it seemed like a obvious choice for this thread.

Sure, but I think most of the variability in life expectancy is explained by the infant mortality rate, and therefore the overall life expectancy is the wrong statistic for evaluating the untimeliness of a death.
