Beschrijving

The Jesus and Mary Chain recently claimed Eddie Van Halen "ruined rock guitar" because generations of players spent decades trying and mostly failing to copy him. That's a strange complaint. When your argument is essentially "he was so good that everyone imitated him," you're accidentally making the case for his greatness. Eddie didn't ruin guitar, he reinvented it. His technique, creativity, tone, songwriting, and rhythm playing changed the instrument forever. And while Jim and William Reid made some influential records of their own, taking shots at one of the most transformative guitarists in rock history feels a bit like complaining that Michael Jordan ruined basketball because too many kids wanted to dunk.

Laura Lee's Sin Bin - Dead People

Celebrity worship has officially outlived the celebrities themselves. According to the New York Post, some die-hard fans are shelling out anywhere from $50,000 to nearly $200,000 just to be buried near famous people. One tech investor spent $195,000 on a crypt near Marilyn Monroe, proudly saying it was his chance to "spend eternity" with her—and he still sends flowers to her grave every birthday. Another fan paid more than $50,000 for what's essentially a shoebox-sized urn niche near Judy Garland, while Hollywood Forever Cemetery says people routinely ask for plots next to stars like Johnny Ramone and Neil Sedaka. Apparently, the hottest real estate market isn't beachfront—it's celebrity-adjacent cemetery space. If you've got a couple hundred grand burning a hole in your pocket, forget leaving it to your kids... just buy yourself an eternity of being ignored by someone who was already dead before you got there
