Musicians, drugs, booze, dying young.

It's true. And as I've got older my attitude to these pricks has become extremely callous - particularly as you come to realise that a lot of them were actively unpleasant people you'd cross the street to avoid.

Keith Moon - wife-beating, alcoholic sadist.
Brian Jones - wife-beater
Hank Williams - deeply unpleasant drunk junky.
John Bonham - an animal, basically
Janis Joplin - ugly, junky nymphomaniac
Kurt Cobain - whiny little narcissistic baby with frankly shocking taste in women

Marley was a proper nasty piece of work, apparently. Hard to summarise the stories I've read about him, but 'violent racist' would be the result of the evidence.

Yes, I've read similar. Mind you, he was Jamaican, so what can you expect?

I never understood the fondness for playing football. Back in the day when I used to smoke large quantities, you'd struggle to get me outside, let alone playing football.
