Death Groupies

a reply to: IgnoranceIsntBlisss

Artists are simply people. Yes, people. People we wish we knew, but didn't personally know. We can know their art.

Banksy tried to sell his art on the street for $60.00 a piece.
Only two were sold
Because people didnt know the value of the pieces

And Banksy is well known and well respected.

Its about money and investment

I liked Pro Hart


His art work went up after he died.

2pac was, but I never heard of Sublime until he OD'ed, and then that's all I heard was Sublime fort years after he died. The people around me. The society. Hooked. I guess the radio playing it on the hour after that helped set the stage.....

Sublime was primed for heavy rotation and media attention before he ODed.
It didn't hurt the band or his estate any, well, except for the chance of another album...

It's about what could have been and what may have come.

I don't think it says anything about us. Just like beauty in art, meaning comes from the mind of the beholder.

Simply put...
"You never know what you got til its gone"

Sublime (Noel, anyways) and Pac were both awesome while they were alive. I don't know where you got that from.
