I think lowering the flag is not necessary for a great singer. Lowering the flag for a native son killed in war to me sounds much better. Guess more people are interested in entertainers dying from a possible drug overdose then the young men who gave their lives for this wonderful country of ours. I salute the war heroes and feel sorry for the drug addicts and the people who surround them who don't try to help them. They are all afraid to say anything that would help cause they are afraid of losing their jobs. Wake up people it is only going to get worse. The entertainers who are on drugs and booze feel it will never happen to them. Maybe our grandchildren seeing all these deaths with drugs and drinking can kill, so hopefully they will only have to think once about it and never do it. Let's hope it does get through to them.
