Malefaction

So, as most of you already know, this Friday is Friday the 13th. As most of you also know, my weekly radio show is from 9 to 11 am on Fridays, and thus my next radio show will be on Friday the 13th (are you still with me? Good!). Well, I decided that the show's theme should be Songs By Artists Who Died Unfortunately (as in, of reasonably unnatural causes).

Sam and I got to brainstorming and we came up with about 16 names, but we soon after turned to the internet. This is what we found.

Yes, The fear of the LORD prolongeth days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened, or, as the page goes on to imply, rock n' roll stars die prematurely because they're evil. Go ahead and look over the list. It's somewhat comprehensive, and very detailed; names, the band they were in, the date they died, how old they were and what killed them. As a note, I think some of their entries are unfair, like guys who died of heart attacks at 76. That does not count as premature death for being evil.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to see more scary puritanical scrabblings.


On a completely unrelated note, if any of my Wash U readers read the paper on Monday and know about Professor Joshua Smith and, more importantly, the anonymous faculty informant... well, I think the informant was the Smith's own wife, a professor in the same department. This is just wild speculation, but it makes a little sense.

Anyway, that's all I've got.

Um, no. She wasn't. Nice bit of nasty speculation, though. He was turned in by a student, and that's definitive.
