...do you think he would do something interesting, like Bowie did?

Didn't somebody say a while ago that Von would probably only allow the long-awaited "new album" to be released after he died?... I could see him doing something like that. Not a thing I like to think about, especially with the way celebs are getting picked off left and right this year.

That's kind pervert and sick to think about that, but ... I don't think that he would let publish anything that he wouldn't be sure that it would be not as good as previous albums, something that would deminish his legacy (when it comes to studio albums). After all, he's not having kid(s) or wife - at least officially - that he has help to supprt after his death.

He'd have to record it first.

is this really what the new-album debate has come to? [/rhetorical]

He'd ensure his cats were looked after and provided for.

Apparently. Just remember that death is the end, but if we can ask to release and/or record something after-death, we, as your minons, would be more than happy. Please. Please. Pretty please.

You're saying he's unaware of his mortality and inevitable death?

Now that I think about it, if he didn't record it till after he'd died, that would be the most goth thing ever.

Stu is correct. This is a total Golf behaviour and attitude

Morbid much?

the smart people are always aware that they are dying......

A great feeling of liberation

Do you know anything about goffs?

Mark is right. This is some morbid-ass shit. Y'all should be ashamed.

....do you mean on stage or in real life?

It's not a nice topic to discuss but I don't think it's in any way inappropriate. Eldritch insists that his music is about the human condition, all aspects of it, yes, including the dark side which logically implies the inclusion of our ultimate mortal fate.

"And I think I'm going to, going to..."

Yes, he does say 'die' but he can barely bring himself to say it. So much for the g**h accusations.

And he hasn't written anything particularly existential* since, not that we're aware of.

* WYDSM is a comedy song about putting up a front for a girl and not relevant here.

Like I say, personally I think it's a bit morbid, but wearing my mod hat I see no reason whatsoever to forbid it.

Carry on.

Go re-read the lyrics to Crash & Burn.
About as existential as you can get.

or far parade

No wait, you mean he's still alive?

DAMN! I thought he was David Bowie???

Crash and Burn - straightforward adultery in the back seat of a car. Far Parade - could be about Gordon Brown, or perhaps Belgium. Not exactly Sein und Zeit, either of them.
