I almost forgot: Gregory Hines

now that I sit and think about it (read: go to one of those celebrity death websites), there are a lot of people from my childhood who passed last year. Isabel Sanford, Julia Child, Tony Randall, Rodney Dangerfield,

there's more, but that's all my beleaguered short term memory can produce

And now, the drummer from the Doobie Brothers.

The day is quickly approaching when the only living musicians will be Ashley Simpson and Keith Richards.

I was pretty sad when George Harrison died. But I think Ronald Regan was worse. The media probably had something to do with that.

no, sadly, no - that was radar honoring Ronnie Raygun, by telling us of his desire to piss on the coffin, or was it spit? either way, it was a bodily function.

Raul Julia. I loved him.

did you love him... or did you love him? if we've got a celebrity shack up story, we need to hear it.

Celebrity Shack-Up Stories is a good idea for a Thread... :cool:

I always felt sorry for Raul Julia that his last movie was "Street Fighter"...

Wow, I was the exact opposite. George Harrison made the world a better place and Reagan did the opposite.

I was brokenhearted when Ray Charles died, but I almost wanted to throw a party when Reagan died. I seriously planned on going to Simi Valley and pissing on his grave. The drive isn't that far.

Arthur Miller passed away today.

I have seen "Death of a Salesman" a few times. It is one of the most powerful plays I have ever seen. I can't think of any recent plays that have had the same kind of impact. It just seems that noone today writes like that.

Was gutted when Bill Hicks died. I went to see him live in Manchester about 18 months before his death. The man was brilliant.

As to Arthur Miller.....Really really sad to see him come to his end. I loved all his plays and my most prized possession is an autographed copy of the Crucible

Speaking of Hunter S. Thompson..........

I think he's going into my Bummed Me Out list for sure.

Although, in a way, it's a more fitting end than his dying quietly in bed.

I was bummed when Princess Diana died. I think it was just so out of the blue that it made me realise how fleeting life can be. Also, she did so much for the less fortunate.
