Happy (late) birthday, Jimmy!

Yesterday, February 9th, was Jimmy Sullivan/James Owen Sullivan, aka The Rev's birthday.

Jimmy died on December 28th 2009 and was the drummer of Avenged Sevenfold

He was one of the inspirations used in this fic: that's why their son is called Jimmy, and that's why the other members of Avenged Sevenfold are in this fic and talk about Jimmy a lot. I couldn't possibly leave Jimmy out if I'm gonna use all the other band members as characters in this fic, now can I?

Jimmy died at age 28 because of an accidental deadly combination of alcohol and medicines he had to take. Because of an enlarged heart, they never expected him to get older than 30.

The weirdest thing is that, at age 15, he said "I'm gonna be a famous rockstar, and I'm gonna die before I'm 30" and he was right. It still gives me chills.

Today, February 10th is the birthday of Cliff Burton, he was Metallica's bass player and he died as well.

In my opinion, two legends who died and were born one day after the other (while Jimmy was born years after Cliff, though).

I love and miss you, Jimmy!
