80's Rocker Jani Lane Found Dead At 47

Jani Lane, the 1980's/90's lead singer of the L.A. band Warrant, was found dead in his motel room last night, he was only 47. Lane was born John Kennedy Oswald. Why on earth his parents named him after the late President, when he had the last name of the presumed assassin, is beyond me, since it almost pre-ordained bad karma. Frankly, I would have changed that name quickly, as Lane was smart to do. But, that being said, who's to say that was not behind any of
his deep-seated problems, which likely led to his early demise?

The band had hits with songs like "Uncle Tom's Cabin", "Heaven', and the song that will be his epitaph-"Cherry Pie", that was a major hit in 1990. The Rocker, who had a history of alcohol problems, was found in a Comfort Inn, a far cry from the five-star hotels he stayed in in his heyday. He can now hang out in the afterlife with Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot, another 80's rocker who fell on hard times near the end of his too-short life.
