Bourdain made me super sad this AM

[I Like Theme Parks.]

It was really upsetting since in my World Cultures class we’d watch Parts Unknown sometimes, and we’re actually doing a project where we have to make a Parts Unknown-inspired video about a place. We had that class first today, and that’s when we all found out.

This has been a rough week and then to find out that the star of my favorite show on TV has committed suicide...damn it, damn it, damn it.

[SFNE Fan]

Rapper XXXTentacion at the age of 20. Not much of a rap person myself, but still a shock

R.I.P. Vinnie Paul.

 

one of the best damn drummers ever.

 

at least he's going to be reunited with Dime in Heaven.

 

(no cause of death, but wouldn't be surprised if something heart attack related)

The Old Man from Pawn Stars, Richard Harrison, age 77.

 

The show has been a guilty pleasure of mine since day 1. He was a fun, curmudgeon.

[bert425]

Damn.

 

Harlan Ellison has passed.

 

 

that's a huge loss.. . even tho he was getting up there in age, and crabby most of the time. . he was a brilliant, brilliant man, and one of my favorite writers.

 

perhaps best known by the general public for his writing of the Classic (as in many folks favorite) Star Trek episode "the City on the Edge of Forever"

[Nrthwnd]

R.I.P Tab Hunter.

[Nrthwnd]

R.I.P. Charlotte Rae.

 

The flighty housemother in "Facts of Life."

[Liampie]

So all these people are mega dead?

[Nrthwnd]

^ No, the thread is Mega.

[Garet]

RIP Aretha Franklin

[DoinItForTheFame]

RIP Aretha Franklin

 

Such side news.

[Philrad71]

Definitely a huge loss in the music industry.

 

Aretha was a legend.

[Nrthwnd]

And as Aretha is now saying to George Michael....

"I knew you were waiting"

 

Love for her and George, too.

[Philrad71]

^ I like that song too.

For some reason Gene Wilder passing away was coming up on the bbc website today. I didn’t realise he had died 2 years ago so was sad to read it even if I’m two years late

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Shocked this hasn't been mentioned but John McCain passed away.

[Philrad71]

^ While I didn't vote for him because Obama was the better candidate, I did respect him as a Republican congressman because he wasn't afraid to reach across the aisle if it benefited most Americans.

 

And yeah, being a veteran and P.O.W. makes him a hero in my book - despite what our dumb-ass president says.

^^ & ^he was a wife-beater.

 

(both Judy Carne, and 2nd wife Loni Anderson were/are on record accusing him).

 

glad you enjoyed his films, and as an actor I suppose he was ok. as a human being? he was a piece of garbage.

and I'll bet very few of the obits are going to mention this.

 

 

and sorry to be negative in the RIP thread.. there are a handful of Celebrities that would elicit the same reaction from me.

[Philrad71]

^ I had never heard that, but if he was...yeah, definitely not cool.
