So here we are, the day before Halloween. Rather than write about the latest social media piece of eye candy, I’m blogging today as a music lover and spiritual medium.
I mean no disrespect at all to these rock ‘n’ roll superstars who died unfortunate deaths. I thought I would attempt a treat and posit what these folks might post on Twitter, if only they could.
Naturally, I’ve selected famous singers and musicians for whom I have an affinity. Perhaps you also admire some of them. Categorize this one under “Just for Fun…”
Buddy Holly (aka @CharlesHHLubbTX – yes, I slightly botched this tweet):
(Buddy Holly) Some liberties taken in that cult film, but #GaryBusey always gives me the shivers when it’s on cable. Time to #RaveOn

Jimi Hendrix (aka @JimiPurpleHz):
@jimipurplehz: It’s getting old, these dearly departed Woodstock hippies keep asking me to play #StarSpangledBanner. I need a #FoxyLady
— Lori Shapiro (@byallwritesLori) October 26, 2012
Janis Joplin (aka @JJPortArthurTX):
@jjportarthurtx: Only other bluesy gal who can kick my @$$ is Amy – I’m a pearl, but she’s (red) wine. No more SC…ain’t no #CryBaby
— Lori Shapiro (@byallwritesLori) October 26, 2012
Jim Morrison (aka @Nietzscheluvr128):
@nietzscheluvr128: Wilde & Miller keep begging me for poems; the Tropic of Dorian Gray’s Cancer Picture? Will always be #WishfulSinful
— Lori Shapiro (@byallwritesLori) October 26, 2012
Keith Moon (aka @Whourdrumr):
@whourdrumr: The stagehands are as sloppy as ever, but I can drive into any swimming pool I want. Just like The Ox, #ICanSeeForMiles
— Lori Shapiro (@byallwritesLori) October 26, 2012
John Lennon (aka @JWinstonNYC):
@jwinstonnyc: This bloody tweeting makes me fingertips twitch; anyone who doesn’t follow @yokoono is a swine…still a #WorkingClassHero
— Lori Shapiro (@byallwritesLori) October 26, 2012
Freddie Mercury (aka @OperaManFM):
@operamanfm: I’d rather be pinning fashion and opera houses on #Pinterest! Luv having my kitties w/me when I bang out #BohemianRhapsody
— Lori Shapiro (@byallwritesLori) October 26, 2012
Joey Ramone (aka @HeyHoJoey1):
@heyhojoey1: Thrilled to know my street sign @ E. 2nd St. & Bowery is most frequently stolen in beloved NYC. It gives me #NeedlesandPins

Was this as much fun for you to read as it was for me to create? What other dead rock stars would be of interest to you for “Tweets From Beyond the Grave” Halloween, 2013? Don’t eat too much of that leftover candy tomorrow night, and “Stay on the road. Keep clear ‘o the moor…”
