So who is next in line?
I dare not look,
I cannot open that foul book.
Another platinum platters dusty despair,
a future lot in Sotheby's catalogue of repair.
Memories are mp3's,
heirloom cd's.
My heart is scratched and worn,
my ears silent.
Forever 4'33.

Dedicated to musicians lost, who created the sound track of my life.

Is this heaven?

Prince, Bowie, the book will go on with or without us and Planet Earth take a deeper shade of blue. Nice write, enjoyed.

Pete_W Your comment is sad but true and thank you for posting.

JamesMichael I think it was Who'll be the next in line, the Kinks song, a little bit before my time but the kinks are cool. Thanks for you kind comments.
