ITT: Artists with really sad stories.
her story isn't sad, just the fact that she got killed.
>>60546565
she's mexican
jackson c. frank's life was one miserable tragedy after another. a complete wreck mentally and physically
>>60546717
Got it before me
Marvin Gaye's life isn't really sad, but it's still sad. Look it up, you'll hear some cheerful songs he did differently. I had a rough evening when I knew about it
Okay it might be the fact that I couldn't have a loving father too.
Blind Willie Johnson
Is Chet Baker sad enough ?
GG allin, as shitty as his music was.
>>60547157
Generation after generation of shitty dads. We're gonna be shitty dads too. I'm gonna put off having kids as long as possible.
>>60547347
Gotta agree (even if I kinda enjoy some of his shit,) G.G. is what happens when the shit that coil did as performance art is your day to day life
I mean, how the fuck is the man alive.
>>60548094
actually it's not a shitty vicious circle of life, you can be mentally tortured by your parents and still be a great dad. The hurt is pretty much impossible to forget, but the future is still in front of us.
Embrace the opportunity to be a hero, read a lot about it, I'm currently reading Toxic Parents from Susan Forward (being a student in psychology) and make sure you don't make the mistake yours did
And the drama of the genius child from Alice Miller is really cool too
phil ochs had it pretty bad by the end
>Ochs's drinking became more and more of a problem, and his behavior became increasingly erratic. He frightened his friends both with his drunken rants about the FBI and CIA, and about his claiming to want to have Elvis's manager Colonel Tom Parker or Kentucky Fried Chicken's Colonel Sanders manage his career.
>In mid-1975, Ochs took on the identity of John Butler Train. He told people that Train had murdered Ochs, and that he, John Butler Train, had replaced him. Train was convinced that someone was trying to kill him, so he carried a weapon at all times: a hammer, a knife, or a lead pipe
>>60548552
Most positive post on here I've seen possibly ever lol.
>>60546500
As already mentioned, Jackson C Frank probably takes the cake. More recent I found that both the deaths of Vic Chesnutt and Jason Molina were pretty goddamn depressing.
>>60546500
We watched that terrible Selena movie so many times in Spanish class
>>60548696

Layne Staley, especially after he finally started getting his life back together after Unplugged. Then the love of his life got a heart infection and died. He vanished back to Seattle shortly after this pic and spent the rest of his life rotting away from the needle. He wore gloves because his hands were rotted.
He did it to himself, and that's what makes it so sad. That someone could do that to themselves.

marving gaye's life was pretty sad imo. also, "oh don't talk about my father, god is my friend". like, no matter how shitty his dad was, marvin wasn't a hateful man. dude was an angel. all he had was love for the world

I haven't "literally" said any of that. It has nothing to do with your political views (though they are hopelessly shallow). It's about you trying to force politics into a thread that doesn't need it and talking like an edgy 16 year old kid that still thinks saying "nigger" is an act of rebellion. You'll find your kind over here >>>/b/.

You'd be much more welcome elsewhere. And everything else you have said is delusional as fuck and adds to the evidence that you haven't really had any social contact aside from replies on this board in a year or two.
>>60550038
I have no idea what would possess you to say that. I wish there was an appropriate reaction gif in my folder but there isn't.

Fuck, guess I'll leave then simply because you told me so. Good thing I coincidentally have somewhere else to be anyway. Enjoy yourselves, faggots.
>>60549853
Well if we go that path, let's talk about Mj
This is very cliché since every mj's fan used that sentence
" Mj's father mentally abused him and used to hit him"
This, the only fact that he had a bastard father who used him to retrieve his own dream (Joe jackson was a failed musician) made him the greatest of his time, and yet despite the love, the money, the fame he became the lonely clown who couldn't cope with his past. (hence the whole face chirurgy )

>While touring through Denmark in 1941, she was arrested by the Nazis and probably kept at Vestre Fængsel, a Danish prison in Copenhagen that was run by the Nazis, before being released on a prisoner exchange in May 1942. According to jazz historian Scott Yanow, "she never emotionally recovered from the experience". She later married Earl Edwards. In the 1950s, she was unable to regain her former success.

It's Courtney. I always had a certain soft spot for her. Yes, she's a shit talking bitch, but the things Kurt fanboys say about her always bothered me. Especially the ones who think she killed him.

I know his life sucked and all but I still want to call him an idiot for blowing that
>>60549295
>>60549538
I'm not convinced that these two are especially sad. You say Layne lost someone he loved, and Kurt's dad got a divorce.
What ? fuck off? they like taking drugs. The chance they both had a lot of us out here would cut our wrists on Vimeo for while tweeting. That they throw it away is their bad. Yeah alright it's a bit sad, but they weren't kept in cages and beaten were they?
Bud Powell is sad,
now that's sad
Jackson C Frank.
Not just some incidents. His whole biography reads like a sad movie plot.
Hop Along wrote a outstanding song about him this year - Horseshoe Crabs. I really suggest you listen to it.

Kurt had one legitimate traumatic event. At some point in his youth, middle or maybe even elementary he found the body of a class mate of his who had hung himself in the woods.

Your mates mum has probably seen more hardship and a lot less thanks.
>>60556898
true, but i don't see this as a contest. I'm operating on the assumption that this thread is about empathy and understanding.
>>60556960
"Really Sad"
>>60556457
Don't know anything about Layne, but watch I recommend you watch Montage of Heck. Kurt's dad didn't just get a divorce, his family just sort of passively disowned him beginning at a very young age.
>>60552744

He actually started taking heroin to deal with the pain of scoliosis which was aggravated by touring, especially since he played a left handed guitar.

really unstable environment to grow up in
as a toddler her house was full of naked hippies doing drugs and was basically a guinea pig for her mom as a budding psychologist, she was put in therapy at age two. after that the family lived on a commune, then a farm in new zealand, then Courtney alone was sent back to U.S. instead of trying to deal with her problems head on she was just sent away to various boarding/reform schools
kinda ironic since her mom turned out to be a successful family therapist later in life
>>60563716
nigga could be the forrest gump of hip-hop. has had a very prolific career despite his widely unknown status. apparently morgan freeman arranged for him to appear on sesame street as a kid, and he later got expelled from high school for beating up the school's dean and stuff
