FAMOUS DEAD PEOPLE

Post by comeonthen »

Who buys the posters and framed pictures of dead movie stars and singers to put on their wall. Is it just the old people that do it.
Isn't it about time that these pictures of Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Rotten were all laid to rest for good.

I know someone, 'The Countess' who used to have pictures of dead gangsters on his wall. What's that all about.

I have some nice artwork of Marc Bolan on my den wall.
Also, a Rat Pack Playing Pool photo, and wor lass's Elvis-in-black-leather photo.

Chances are, a lot of those "old folk" were acvtually quite young when they were buying their Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison photos.

Is Johnny Rotten dead?
