There you go again twisting what I say.
I never said Jack Johnson died, but he's an example of an overhyped songwriter. And I agree all musicians tend to get hyped if they die, not just singer/songwriters.

Nick Drake didn't blow up after he died, Nick Drake didn't even get much notice until the whole indie-folk revival with stuff like Iron and Wine and Owen recently. If he hadn't died he'd probably have done a Vashti Bunyan and just have disappeared for a long time until and than come back start recording again when he actually had an audience.

I'm not saying he was overhyped at all because I don't know if he was (like I said in the other post), but I'll just point out that the overhyping-after-dying thing doesn't have to be immediate.
