^{So many stars have died since I wrote this poem (1984)(Revised in 1998 and 2025). To many to list, but recently you had Lemmy, Eddie, Malcolm and Ozzy. It was one of my first attempts at poetry, I was trying to be more lyrical. I picked the ballad form that typically have lines c and f rhyming.}

As fate will play its role And legend will tell For super stardom and limelight The greatest have fell The Silver Screen, fortune and fame Rock-n-roll will never die From Janis to Jim Bonham to Bon They given us so much Elvis to Lennon Jimmi and Randy They had the touch Let's not forget Stevie and Kurt Take a walk down that well beaten path You're all still in memory Hidden by Heaven's Par can lights Well see you in the past
