Death of The Singer
Would you totally blame the rock star for his illicit acts? Would you push the blames on his psychopathic father? Or would you rather judge him from your perspective? Well, his life didn’t have a good tale in the end, his weakness was from the fact that he was feeling inferior. He wanted to be heard and known and the only way he could attain those heights was being a weirdo.
