What entertainer (poet, author, dancer, comedian, actor, singer, band, athlete, etc) do you miss the most? Excluding the ones that died of natural causes (disease, heart attack, stoke, etc.) They can be ancient or contemporary. Someone who had more to contribute, but their time was just cut to short.
I miss john Lennon, he didn't deserve 4 shots to the back. He had issues, but not too that extent.

Stevie Ray Vaughan..... Jimi Hendrix..... Buddy Holly...
Edit: Especailly Stevie Ray Vaughan, I'd pay 1000$$ and go to the other side of America to see a concert of his.
-
Carry Grant, Mr. Rodgers, Mitch Hedburg, and Chris Farley to name a few.
-
John Candy
John Belushi
Katharine Hepburn

I have to agree about Lennon. The funny thing is, as I've grown older, I've come to kind of understand (sort of) where chapman was coming from when he called Lennon a fraud. Lennon WAS a fraud. He sat in an ivory tower and preached about imagining there were no posessions... But, he didn't deserve to die. The Beatles WOULD have gotten back together if not for chapman. The funny thing is, even 28 years later, (my god has it been that long?) I still get SUPER PISSED if I think about it too much.

I agree they are good choices, I just want the ones that died from unnatural causes.

I THINK HE'S BEEN DEad for awhile now.
i don't know how he died thoough, but in my humble opinion, he was one of the greatest horror movie actors of all time.

IIRC, Vincent had Emphysema and Parkinson's for a long time before he died I want to say of, Lung Cancer. Don't quote me on that, but I believe that is correct.

Mozart is thought by some to have been murdered.
Would have liked to seen what he would have written next.

Hendrix and Holly, we missed alot of good toons.....
-
Of all that died young from unnatural causes, I'd say one of the best and the brightest had to be Pat Tillman.

Yeah... Reagan was tragically stripped away from us at the tender age of 93. I wonder what he could have accomplished if he lived forever.

Why would you need to go to the other side of America to see one of his concerts?

I think it would be Lennon. What a waste.

SRV! He's the one. Don't usually pay to much attention when some celeb bites it. But Stevie that was different. Got to see him 3 times. Once in a bar.(The Boathouse, Norfolk VA!) Once with only about 50 or 60 other people. (Hampton Coliseum, Hampton VA)Little note there; I have a DVD with an interview with Double trouble. They commented that they always played hard; 50 or 5000 people. That was true. They played their butts off for 2 hours and to a half empty stadium and few hard core standing cheering fans.
Last time I saw him, a friend had bought the tickets without telling me. I was a little miffed at the price; 15$. Today, I don't even hesitate to pay more than that for a DVD.
Another great; Rory Gallagher

I've always really liked Stevie Ray Vaughan.
-
But why would you have to go to the other side of the country to see him when he toured the world?

Steve McQueen, biker, racer, pilot, Marine and sometime actor. He was the real thing. A genuine tough guy. Died far too young. :salute
Death is all very well but it ruined many a good career.

nascar was getting a bit boring, due to all the rules. it looked like a 200mph traffic jam.
Dale got killed, and it just sealed itr for me. i don't think i've seen a nascar race since then.
