Or so it seems anyway. 'Ray' revealed glimmers of drug abuse and racial struggle of Ray Charles. 'Last Days' fictionalised the wierd, mumbling last days of Kurt Cobain. 'Stoned' merged together elements of Brian Jones' mysterious death. 'Walk The Line' focused on Johnny Cash's self-destructive nature. And with movies in production on Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye and Joy Divison. The question has to be asked: Who's life was tragic enough to rake it in at the box office? Jeff Buckley? Elliott Smith? Janis Joplin? Phil Lynott? John Lennon? Bob Marley?

Nah prob not mate! - your probably thinking of Nicky upstairs or Ross in the basement - I only fill in in the basement from time to time and am easily distinguishable from those lads as I have female bits. :-)
