haha jerry garcia didn't exacly die young, but if he was still around, then i bet the jam scene would be even bigger. actually, with his death the grateful dead blew up a lot, so whatever... he was just so amazing i had to bring him up in the music legends thread.

actually i would like to mention brad nowell of sublime as well. sublime was about to release their third album when he died (of a heroin overdose). brad had gotten clean and went partying after a show and went a little overboard. he had every intention of continuing making music for a long long time, and i bet they would have put out some monumental albums even today. sublime was so good.
