Not all musicians die tragically. Some, such as Colonel Bruce Hampton, die exactly the way they said they wanted to, onstage and surrounded by friends and loved ones whom they guided and helped. The Colonel knew Frank Zappa, among many other notables. He had a role in the movie Slingblade. He died onstage at the Fox Theater in Atlanta last Monday night while playing an encore at his 70th birthday tribute. RIP Colonel!1
