That's the great thing about the Internet: it allows people to be as
vicious and mean-spirited as they want to be without the slightest
fear of getting their asses kicked.

I can well imagine the shit that would've been posted about Hendrix,

they all died. Luckily, when Kurt Cobain committed suicide, we at
least had Rush Limbaugh to piss all over the corpse.
