Harry Browne died today. This one literally brought me to tears.

Bruce Lee and John Bonham.

Welcome to the Cellar, DWKing. :)

When I first saw this thread, I couldn't really think of a celeb whose death even blipped on my screen.

Yesterday I was browsing the CDs trying to decide what to listen to and picked up a robert palmer disc.

I had almost forgotten he died. When I found out I felt really sad for some reason. He seemed like a good guy.

I still feel disappointed that he died.

Middle-aged men shouldn't do cocaine. Ask John Entwistle.

Maureen Stapleton Moves On
 

Supremely talented character actress Maureen Stapleton has died. She was the only reason I was ever able to watch "Airport" with anything like a straight face. She made melodrama seem real. Classy, classy lady, great actress, and a true no-bullshit human being who always did unquestionably fine work as an actress.

Thanks, Maureen. You rock.

Robert Palmer is dead? That does suck. Is that why everyone's been ripping off that video for Simply Irresistable?

By the way, the host of the game show Press Your Luck died in a plane crash today (or yesterday). It's not particularly noteworthy, but that show was a part of my late childhood, and I have fond memories of me and my brother watching it in the morning during the summer. Big bucks, no whammies.

no, i believe its John Bonham.

what? John Bonham was the drummer in Zeppelin. Palmer did simply irresistable.

Because their passing was tragic.


I also admire Maureen Stapleton but she had a full life.

john lennon, hands down................still makes me sad............

my local runs a sweeepstake on this... choose a celeb, pay the kitty weekly, if your celeb dies first, you win....

they call it the 'Death Pool'......

Honestly there are some that I really miss, but would not have them suffer any more.
Who I think I miss the most would be Johnny & June Cash, but there are so many it is hard to think of a list... it is really depressing to even consider it.
Raul Julia, Madeline Kahn and Phil Hartman are high on the list too.

Jerry Garcia
Hunter Thompson
John Lennon
Peter Jennings
