What's happened to the rhythm section? (1): Remembering the bassists who've "died suddenly" worldwide since April, 2022
Has the visceral thud of playing bass (and drums) had anything to do with this peculiar toll among musicians who have died untimely deaths since "vaccination" started?
Since early 2021, all too many rockers either have “died suddenly” (like Junnosuke Kuroda, Japanese guitarist with the band sumoka, who died just yesterday at 34, no cause reported), or are now too sick to perform (e.g., Bruce Springsteen has just postponed a concert in Ohio, “due to illness”).
Although it might mean nothing, lately it has seemed to us that things have gone especially badly for the rhythm section in particular—i.e., bass and drums. If that’s the case, it might provide a clue to the mysterious ongoing die-off since the “vaccination” drive began, relating somehow to the visceral thud of playing bass and drums. The question here is similar to the question of why so many have died worldwide in (or near) the water, as especially in Italy and Switzerland.
If, on the other hand, the number of guitarists, keyboard players and singers who have “died suddenly” worldwide is just as high as (or higher than) the number of bassists and drummers, the latters’ deaths provide no special clue; yet noting their high number is no waste of time, as it helps do the most important thing—which is to call attention to the ever-growing global toll that “our free press” keeps blacking out, by giving names and faces to some number of the dead, instead of lumping them into mere grim statistics.

Mark, your documenting the bottomless pit of sudden deaths and illness is a constant reminder of the living hell we are in, and I imagine it must take a heavy emotional toll. Thank you for steadfastly bearing witness to the unspeakably evil assault on humanity.
In the course of two weeks, I've had a 68-year-old friend suddenly die, a neighbor lost his 41 year old godson die and a cousin lost a long time friend, who was at most in his 60's, possibly younger. Apparent heart attack, stroke - but nothing to see here.
I have a vision to create the most beautiful montage of music video clips of super healthy (now vax injured or vax dead) artists - starting with Celine, Justin, Eric…..And at the end, like a beautiful movie, roll the Credits…..brought to you by Pfizer and list the vax side affects. 😢 Perhaps Eric Clapton could help.
