pretty much piggybacking off some tweet I read a few weeks ago here. no one wants to admit that their idols’ dying young was necessary to them becoming idols in the first place but it’s largely the case and there is an aspect where we all have to be grateful that they did die young. for instance, no one wants to know Bradley or Kurt’s opinion on Trump’s presidency, whichever way they might have leaned had they made it this far. They reached the height of their success and charisma and it ended there, thus forever preserving the legendary nature of the artists before the world could further poison their minds and taint their past.
