the sound of scattered redneck intellectuals gathered at their source to celebrate the profound inanity of life
Here are some resons I think James is dead:
*On the cover of "Infirmity", James is the only one wearing a black sleepmask (the color of death). Everyone else's masks are blue.
*In the song "Take a Whiff" James sings "No I will not be returning to these chambers anymore."
*In the song "Vox" James sings "A gravelly whisper hissed from the tomb, beware beware the pink slacks of doom."
*In the song "Red Taxi Sunset," Chris sings "The grim reaper James met."
*On August 24, 2001 (the second day of Music Camp 3), James had a hangover so bad he claimed to have "witnessed death itself."
*In the song "Don't Go Near The Clowns" James can be heard shouting "I want to kill some clowns," but the red smile painted over the murderer's mouth hides a snarling, twisted frown.
*James played a black drumset.
*James wrote many songs about meat, which is high in cholesterol, which can cause premature death.
*James was white, the Korean symbolic color of death.
*One week before Music Camp 3, James ate some kim chee, a Korean dish of pickled cabbage flavored with hot spices.
*When he was 13, James enjoyed the TV sitcom M*A*S*H, which was set in the Korean war.
*On August 24, 2001 (the second day of Music Camp 3), James had particularly severe
diarrhea, which rhymes with Korea.
*James was fond of the novel "The Diary of Anne Frank."
*Frank was the last Cabinboy who saw James alive.
*Frank had given James a bag of Doritos.
*The county coroner announced after the autopsy that the only contents of James's stomach were a bag of Doritos and traces of potassium cyanide, a deadly chemical compound.
*On the White Album, Doug sang "Why Me Lord," referring to James's last words.
