18. There's only one rock stars death that will ever compare to that outpouring of emotion ...

And that was when we lost Jerry.

Those were the two losses that hit the rock and roll world the hardest I think, and I'm not sure there's anyone else's passing that will compare, because there just aren't the universally admired icons left anymore ... not that could still be lost in their prime like John was. And Jerry just meant SO MUCH ... to so many people ...

I mean, that's assuming Paul dies of natural causes, long in the future ... THAT will indeed prompt a huge outpouring, but I don't think it'll quite match Lennon's, just because of the tragedy involved. Elton's passing will also be huge, as will Mick's. Clapton's, too. Page & Plant will be gut-wrenching for sure, as will Roger & Pete.

Notice I leave out Keef.
