No future...

I really wanted to have something to say on Feb. 2nd to mark the 26th anniversary of the death of Sid Vicious, but I found myself lacking words. What can you say really? He was young and stupid. He let himself rot away until noting was left by a hollow drug-addicted shell. The thing is that he was, like, my age when he died; and even though he did some of the most moronic things, he still accomplished more than I ever have (if by accomplished you mean infamous). His death speaks to me. He's been dead longer than he was alive. If you look up 'senseless tragedy' in the dictionary it would have dear Sidney's picture next to it. In the words of John Cleese, what a senseless waste of human life.
