Nirvana / Pearl Jam
Agreed. Have had many discussions about how Nirvana wouldn't have had the longevity that Pearl Jam have had, if Cobain didn't top himself. Died young and got unnecessarily elevated to music-god status.

Everything was set up for Eddie to an hero into immortal status. 27, huge debut album dealing with depression and suicide. Instead he stuck around to make some more great tracks.

Omar from The Wire comes to mind for mine for that category. Such a great character
-
@aucklandwarlord Is he even a bad guy? He doesn’t target civilians and some of the actual po-lice (although not the main crew) are dodgier than he is. Marlo is a bad guy and I was never cheering for him.

Scotch / Bourbon
Both have thier place! But when it comes to the lower end, an average bourbon is much better than an average scotch.

@kiwiwomble my ancestors made a blended whisky (sold out to Diego or whatever it is in the 80s I think) and I was going through Singapore airport one time and they were doing tasters of the 30 year one, it was very good.
-
@taniwharugby what was it?
-
@kiwiwomble reasonably priced, but no way was I spending 5 hundy on it and no family discount! The cheaper stuff is a bit average, good to add ginger ale or coke to
-
@taniwharugby Ballantines? when you say ancestors you mean direct or loose? i love a good story
my grandmother was a Murray, the family of the dukes of Athol, and of this whisky fame, like to claim im about 200th in line for a dukedom...just waiting for some sort of tragedy at a family reunion...i do have an older brother though....
might need to take this to a whisky thread
-
@kiwiwomble well in the late 70s my great grandfather owned a pub in Pukekohe somewhere, and at the time the distillery was still owned by Ballantines, and they used to send him a case now and again, he was born in NZ, but his parents emigrated from Scotland so not entirely sure how close but not too far back I expect.
-
@taniwharugby thats cool, hope you always have a bottle (of the cheaper stuff) hanging around for the story at least
