	maybe inclued others such as The Big Bopper who also died with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, John Entwhistle of The Who, George Harrison who died of cancer, and the S in AIDS should be capitalized. other than all that, fun quiz.

	@cansing: Fun quiz. Yeah. Lol.

	@andmybirdcansing - I believe that speedbird was including only musicians who died suddenly and tragically. While we all miss George, he lived a long life, and cancer (while very sad) is not a tragic death. Also, please accept last names for Holly, Cobain, Wilson and Valens. Stunning fact - I had no idea that Ritchie Valens was only 17 years old. I always assumed he was much older. Amazing.

	Why do last names work for some, but not all? I can see needing a first name for Duane Allman because Allman is in the clue, but why Kurt Cobain?

	So many more could be included. Still a good idea for a quiz. Check out "list of death in rock and roll" at wikipedia.org for more suggestions. You may want to include the year of death as a hint because some, like Pastorius, who don't have bands attached can make for an extremely hard guess.

	JP Richardson Jr is the Big Bopper, so already included; I agree with Burtdoggy that Entwhistle and Harrison are not necessarily tragic of the kind this quiz targets -- maybe Ian Curtis (Joy Division, suicide), Doug Hopkins (Gin Blossoms, suicide), Darby Crash (The Germs, heroin overdose) could be added for a little extra challenge

	4 of these are directly related to drugs/alcohol. How many more are indirectly related (Morrison, Cobain, etc). Lists like these should be in anti-drug ads.
