Brendan Croker is a genius

Article Abstract:

Dead pop artists such as Bob Marley and Kurt Cobain are fascinating as they improved other people's lives, often at the expense of their own, according to singer-songwriter Brendan Croker. His Dying To Sing week-long series of concerts at the Twelve Bar Club in London, England, will be a tribute to the work of dead pop artists. He does not really feel drawn to success, although he believes that he has had the potential to make big-selling records. He has begun to feel that he has made too many records, and is not planning a new album.
