With the pace all those elderly rockstars are leaving us, I think it's an idea to just introduce a central RIP thread.
Instead of all those separate threads.
Agreed?
Isn't a RIP thread a bit morbid?
***Not a fan of mass graves either. Given that even individual RIP threads only have a short shelf life, I think we can live with an individual approach.
I dread the thought of having - one day when it is sadly time - Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore in one and the same commemorative thread!!! Or obituaries for Ted Nugent and Bob Dylan side by side ...
*** That said, I'm actually a fan of cemeteries as places of sociological, historical and cultural remembrance. Whenever I am travelling and have the chance to visit one I don't yet know, I take the opportunity. The first names of both my children - Teresa and Leon - were inspired from gravestone inscriptions, cemeteries are great places to check out names that are not just the latest fad. (They both know where their names come from and think it's hilarious.)
