There aren't very many songs that are more iconic than that one. I remember it being a real ***** to play in Guitar Hero too. RIP to a great talent.

Only an Italian could have a name like Ennio and still be the baddest man in town. RIP.

Damn, this has me worried. As great as these two were musically, the third is usually the biggest...

Kanye.

He just signed his death warrant if he actually gets traction in the presidential race.

lol if Kanye died, it wouldn't be a blip on the musical landscape. Kenny G dying would be a bigger deal.

I don't want to venture a guess, but there are plenty of elderly musical legends in iffy health.

I sorta had a feeling about Clint earlier this year, and it would fit with Ennio... but he's not musical and I think he's too ornery to die.

Charlie Daniels was the best. But I prefer this iconic song of his to Devil:

"If you don't like the way I'm livin
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone."

on Kanye.

You realise that is heresy in today's social climate, right?

While I agree with your assessment of his musical talent, it would be heralded as the passing of one of the biggest talents in years.

Plus everyone would want to tell their Kanye story to avoid being seen as sleepy.

Kanye is a laughable, narcissistic douchebag...what musical "genius" he possesses is lost on me

Mary Kay Letourneau, the Original Hot Female Pedo teacher died from cancer today.

I remember it being the first case of a female teacher sleeping with an underage student to gain real notoriety.

That gal was nuts, or that kid had some good mojo, she ended up going to prison twice for him.
