61. Nancy killed Dis Vicious with her psychotic B.S. If Dee Dee Ramone died of an "accidental" overdose how much drugs did he do? I wanna know how many drugs it takes to die!

62. Strange to hear all of the negative comments from people who didn't know Kevin. As a concert promoter, I met Kevin several times and you couldn't ask for a nicer guy. A total professional who gave his all on stage and was great to his fans. I saw him autograph everything from a car to a $100 bill. And all these vicious anti-cocaine comments from people who I'm sure have never done the drug...It must make you feel good or people wouldn't do it. Sure, it can be bad, and some people pay the price. There are many things that can kill you when you go over the limit. You can also die from drinking too much water. Kevin mis-calculated and it killed him. That's no reason to condemn him. He was a great entertainer and a great guy. Thanks for the memories, Kevin !

63. Okay real slow for you judges: Accidental means a person did not overdose and die on purpose. That's called su-i-cide.

Drug addiction: That mean that a person has the inability to stop doing the drug(s) they're addicted to. It is tragic when a person is addicted. However, on this site it is how people feel better about themselves by kicking the down and/or dead. Pathetic.

65. well the thought of putting something up my nose has never had any appeal to me, or in my arm....i guess that's good for me then. but seriously, too many greats have been lost. look at the led zeppelin reunion tonite, we lost a great band back in 1980 because of john bonham's carelessness. i do have a caffeine addiction though, i wish i could get off the coffee and the other coke!
