My favorite dead musicians would have to be John Lennon and Frank Zappa. Zappa is one of my favourite musicians of all time, a fantastic composer and guitar player with a sense of humour too!

Yes; thus my use of the word "trying." His early  death was sad, not funny.  ^

For all his flaws, Byron was a unique personality -- though a Lord, he spoke up for the liberty of the common man, and put his money where his mouth was. Crack shot, expert swimmer, club-footed but handsome lady's man (probably a bit of a "man's man" too, it seems), he was like a rock star of his day -- a huge public figure. From his life, we get the word "Byronic." I really like the ribald humour that's in much of his poetry, including his epic masterpiece "Don Juan" -- funny, & highly recommended!

That self-styled "antichrist" Crowley, as you probably know, was an egotistic charlatan. I've read one of his books on magic -- absolute crapola. He died in disgrace, but not before many of the wealthy and gullible were hoodwinked by him. If Jimmy Page admired/admires him, then Page is a fool -- a drug-addled, spoiled and gullible rock star. LOVE LZ, though -- don't get me wrong....

I'd also nominate another of my heros from literature, Charles Dickens: he also fought injustice and oppression, both in his writing, and in his private, financial life. A great writer, and a consummate humanist, he worked himself into an early grave -- thus only 14 major books, more's the pity.Unhappy

The End

Jim Morrison died in Paris on July 3, 1971, in his bathtub at the age of 27 (btw: i was born on July 3rd); many fans and biographers have speculated that the cause of death was a drug overdose, or possibly an assassination by American government authorities. Morrison remarked several times near his death that he was "number 3". Referring to himself as likely to be the third person to die mysteriously; Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin being the first two. The official report listed "heart attack" as the cause of death. Morrison is buried in the famous Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in eastern Paris.
 
Not fans there brain dead

It was a joke. Not in good taste I realize. I am a shock-whore.

Aww Peter I didn't mean to laugh at Byron's death. Despite his early death, I personally think he did much for the Greeks in their fight against the Turks for this reason: like you said, he was the rockstar of his day, and such a high profile figure taking part in the Greek War probably drew a fair bit of attention to it - France, Britain and Russia defeated the Turks at Navarino (The Guns of Navarino! ).

As for my favourite Romantic poet though, he's Coleridge in fact: the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan to me possess dreamlike qualities (not surprising since Kubla Khan was written after an Opium-induced dream). I tend to like art or literature that has a hint of the subconcious about it, which is the reason behind my love of Surrealist art and Alice in Wonderland

Aleister Crowley wasn't exactly a nice man: he died a failure. He wrote so many books on "magick" but I don't understand how HE personally came across such information...perhaps his Guardian Angel told him?

He liked to refer to himself as The Beast or Antichrist, but he certainly represents the exact antithesis of saintly qualities.
