I forgot about Douglas Adams, fuck...

\m/ Piggy \m/

It'll be rough when Christopher Lee dies, eh.. seems like it's not possible. And Clint Eastwood.

Charles Bronson was sad for me.. apparently he had Alzheimer's. And I didn't even know about Stan Winston.

Also, Hunter Thompson and Mark Linkous. Tough when someone you admire takes their own life.

when von sydow dies i'm going to take the month off..

I found out about this in jail by seeing the Rolling Stones issue he was on. After reading that he took himself out I eventually realized that's how he wanted to go. He felt he could accomplish nothing more. So you must respect his choice.

If you'd had the internet in prison you would have known that IT WAS THE FBI !

Yeah, and Hitler took a submarine to the center of the earth to live with Aliens.

He took a spaceship to the North Pole, you ignorant fuck.

Kurt Cobain. But I was 13 when that happened and really into Nirvana.

Steve McNair. Mostly because that was just so

Why would you need a spaceship to get to the North Pole? Sounds fishy to me.

To fly at really high altitudes in order to escape planes and AA fire.

EDIT: Sorry, I was wrong about that.

"The Fuhrer left Berlin in 1945, probably in one of the German flying saucer planes, to assume an invisible existence in the subterranean realm of the South Pole, from which, now that the Exoteric War is over, he continues to direct the Esoteric War."

Kurt Cobain here as well. I expected him to come up more in this thread.

I know there was a rumor about them escaping to Argentina after a German sub surrendered to the Argentine Navy.

Kinda the same for me. I was big into them at the time and I was bummed about it. I even recall being home from school that day and watching all of the coverage on MTV News. Shortly after my school, and I guess the rest of the country as well, had a ton of overnight fans. All of em wearing these Kurt Cobain shirts and shit like that. As soon as I saw that on every girl in my 8th grade class I basically just flipped the switch and said fuck this shit. Stopped listening, sold my copy of Bleach for an inflated price to an asian girl one grade below me, gave away my only Nirvana shirt, and that was that. Now I'll listen to em occassionally if it's on the radio or some shit but I won't purposely put em on.

You two are cute, but conflating the supernatural with a clear cut murder of a journalist for political reasons is just

Well there isn't anything supernatural about Hitler taking a flying saucer to Antarctica. I didn't bring up the alien theory.

John Wooden will be another one when he kicks it in a few days. That's a good damn basketball coach right there.

Well not everyone here is a 20 year old dick head with interest in 2nd rate bullshit....

I felt pretty grimmed out when Hopper died last Saturday.

I wasn't even all that into Nirvana when it happened.
Two of my best friends in those days were huge fans (and the ones who eventually got me into them), and I remember not knowing what the fuck to say to them. They were all fucked up over it.

Chuck Schuldiner, Ronnie Dio and Carlin. The rest, it just kinda sucks.

I really felt that guy's struggle.

I recently read a description of the room when they found him and it was so fucking bleak. I can't imagine what that guys last days were like.

Yea, It didn't hit me how tragic it was until I read about where and how they found him.

I was pretty bummed when Spalding Gray was found floating in the East River, down where I used to hang out frequently.

i felt the same way when Carl 'Oldy' Olson died

That's a good one.

Others, for me, are/were:

Rodney Dangerfield
Jack Lemon
Paul Newman
Phil Hartman (I actually snapped at dudes making fun of his death. )

Shel Silverstein
Johnny Cash
Fred "Mister" Rogers
Karlheinz Stockhausen (stretching "famous" here)

And, in all sincerity... Michael Jackson. He had become such a monumental figure in the cultural landscape, it just seemed impossible that he was gone. The world is less magical, if more kid-friendly, without him.

Richard Grieco
King Diamond
Olivia Newton-John
