Paging Page Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 dead-rockers by gibsonlayla86, on Flickr OK hope this shows up.... this is a wallpaper of dead rock stars I made. It goes along with a rock history poem I wrote which you can read on my blog here: http://lindaofficial...-of-the-week-3/ Sure.... I do have better things to do with my summer.............. haha The pics appear in the order the 'list of the dead' appear in the poem L to R top to bottom. Lennon shows up 3X just because.... I needed filler for the bottom 2 corners. :) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paging Page Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thank you all!! YES, it is sized 1024 x 768 to be a standard laptop/PC wallpaper. It should have high enough res to "stretch" all right without blurring too much. However when I put it on my own desktop to test it out I noticed some of the "quilt" corners were NOT lined up so well and it was bugging me, some of the color vs B&W choices were bugging me, so, here is today's revision: rockstar-paper-lg by LindaOfficial, on Flickr DAMIAN - you are not dead AND you are not in the poem. However you did get to READ the poem, I emailed it to you a while ago. Everyone else has to go to the link so you are still Special. Far less evidence of Paul dead than Cobain dead - I have seen the coroner's report and some gruesome photos. He wasn't found for four days y'know. :unsure: Kossoff ---??? Well, YOU try working everybody's name into a POEM and make it sound groovy and rhythmic and hypnotic all at the same time!! Oh and Gary Moore was not included as he had not passed away yet when I wrote it. But I probably should have figured Les Paul in there somewhere......... ooops Maybe I'll have to write another one, just about guitars and their makers :) haha Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paging Page Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 ***If you have a "widescreen" computer you might want to use the "Center" option rather than "Stretch." But yes, please -- feel free to use as wallpaper if you like it, that's a good part of why I made it!! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman5293 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 This reminds me of another very similar poster that I turned into a wallpaper. It's 1920X1080 if anyone's interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyVader Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Cool...but why is Lennon in there 3 times??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paging Page Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Cool...but why is Lennon in there 3 times??? At the top I said, I needed filler for the bottom 2 corners. Real reason --- I entered a contest on SingSnap (and made Finalist so far!!) and the page design was surrounding the song, "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)" re: the death of John Lennon. I may revise the poster after a while and fill the corners with Freddie instead :) But I wasn't going to revise the poem to add more lines... it's long enough, although I did miss quite a few relevant names these came to me as the most known and important... in my book...

Paging Page Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 LInda, Great work and great writing. Is there a link to your work put to music. thanks for the post. Hiya G! I have not set this poem to music as it's not really a lyric... it has no musical structure.... I suppose I could beat a conga drum (or fake one on GarageBand) and recite it... But yes I have some original music - it's my link at the bottom of my sig there: http://www.reverbnation.com/lindaofficial Also have a soundcloud/lindaofficial and a facebook/lindaofficial you can check out. :) Thanks for asking!
