Between, John Denver, Aaliyah and Buddy Holly are planes the natural enemies of musicians?
>>132108736Helicopters too
You forgot Patsy Cline and half of Lynyrd Skynyrd. So yes, i guess so.
/x/ need to make a good schizo thread about this.
And Jim Croce
And Otis Redding
>>132108772>Lynyrd Skynyrdthis was a weird omission, being the most well-know one along with Holly
Yes
MR SUNSHINE ON MY GODDAMN SHOULDER JOHN DENVER
>>132108802It's really just a numbers game, there were thousands of musicians flying around the country in tiny shitty planes at any given time in the 50s-70s, it was a given that a bunch of them would die and some would be high profile. A ton of them died in car accidents too, for much the same reasons.
>>132108736John Denver ran out of gas while he was flying. It was his own damn fault.
Stan Rogers too
>>132110246
And Glenn Miller.
>Denver died on the afternoon of October 12, 1997, when his light homebuilt aircraft, a Rutan Long-EZ with registration number N555JD, crashed into Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California, while making a series of touch-and-go landings at the nearby Monterey Peninsula Airport.[57] Denver was the plane's only occupant.[63][64] The official cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma resulting from the crash.[65]>Denver was a pilot with more than 2,700 hours of experience. He had pilot ratings for single-engine land and sea, multi-engine land, glider and instrument. Denver also held a type rating in his Learjet. He had recently purchased the Long-EZ aircraft, made by someone else from a kit,[66] and had taken a half-hour checkout flight with the aircraft the day before the crash.[67][68]maybe don't fly around in lego planes
>thank god i'm a country boycountry boys can't make music
>>132111738If he sang “thank god I’m a sky boy” he would’ve lived
>>132111754whether a song is good or not is determined by whether it doesn't kill your boner or does if you listen to it while looking at porn any countryish song ever made kills boners>sweet city womankills boners, but as a child I lived its bittersweetnessall the music I ate up as a child SUCKS
>>132108736Most musicians who perished riding in planes/helicopters boarded one they didn't have to ride in. Some small private or small engine plane they didn't need to be in usually involving trying to save time and flying around in storms and shit for no reason. They should avoid flying in helicopters forever and small planes unless absolutely necessary.
controversial take: 1970 was too countryish to be anywhere near the best year for music (Midnight Rider is garbage)1977 was the best year for music because Ronnie van Zant died IN A PLANE CRASH
