Dead pop stars

It's amazing how many great performers are still alive lol. And long may that last. Meanwhile, here's my tribute to some of the ones no longer with us. I am presently working on getting this down as a song. I have the tune ready, it's just a case of getting Leo (my son) to translate it on his guitar.

 

Deadstock (Admission Free)

Are you going to Deadstock? I’ll see you there someday

When good soul’s come together, to watch the dead bands play

There’s no ticket for reservation, and no form to apply

It’s an open invitation, to the great gig in the sky

The songs they played were anthems of the time

A mark was made when they were in their prime

I dedicate this song today

To the ones who’ve passed away

Like Jimi say’s

I’ll meet you in the next the world

And come and watch you play

Are you going to Deadstock? I've heard that it’s a scream

Where a crowd that stretches to infinity, is there living the dream

The sun is up there shining and the grass is always dry

And there’s some kind of mushroom there if you’re wanting to get high

The songs they played were anthems of the time

A mark was made when they were in their prime

I dedicate this song today

To the ones that passed away

Like Jimi says

I’ll see you in the next world

And come and watch you play
