Is it normal to never give a fuck about celebrities dying?

Now you do, lad.

Ripples is a great Genesis song

Ripples is a great Genesis song

Hence why I wanted to do it, but the only initial problem was my vocal range.

Phil can go high, higher than Peter even could. I can't do that, so we all worked together on a re-arrangement that I felt did the song justice. I think we got it that time.

Hulk also probably has a disastrous heart with al the roids and coke he was doing in the 80s and 90s. But Flair is just in a constant state of near death these days.

Yeah I’m not saying he won’t have those kind of issues but the majority of his issues / surgeries are all related to his back from wear and tear in the ring. Flair has that AND all kinds of shit from partying hard all these years. He’s still drinking probably everyday and who knows what else he’s doing. He’s had plenty of close calls yet is still going but who knows for how much longer. Flair is probably the best example of “becoming” your character.

I’ve mentioned it before but I worked for the production company that did Hogans VH1 reality shows and we did a pilot with Flair and his son Reid called “Life of Flair” that followed him and his son partying around North Carolina. They didn’t pick it up because they felt it was kinda sad watching flair just get fucked up with his young son who of course died a couple years later from an OD. Would have been really bad if that made the air with how he eventually died. I think they felt it would just make Flair look like a shitty parent - like he was his drinking buddy and not his dad.

I was so upset when Richard Moll died, I started to cut really badly.
Luckily, the mouth gag I used on her muffled her horrific screaming, so nobody bothered me as I morned.

It was the opposite. Guy basically spent $10million on rehab and then probably double that on Batman merchandise and collectibles. Plus anyone who spent $10million on rehab probably spent double or triple on coke and pills and having a full time "assistant" aka drug dealer working for them. Also he was not a jew he was just surrounded by them.

Like if you are a famous hollywood drug addict. You are not going to the ghetto to get your pills or coke or whatever. You have an assistant whose entire job is getting you drugs to get high on and making sure that you don't overdose. Let's say $200K a year for the assistant's salary and buying his silence. Across a decade of drugs you are down $2million or more and that's not even factoring in the cost of the drugs. And factoring in the loss of work and having no career you are down even more.

Guy basically did Friends and lived off of the money until he overdosed. Must have been an unfulfilling life.

He never tipped unless you were holding.

What’s crazy is his drug / alcohol problem was well known even before the internet was huge / TMZ. Like I was a kid when friends started and even my mom knew he was an addict just by how his weight would change so drastically from season to season. It was like Fat Mac type changes - he’d be stick thin then big fat bloated guy next season.

I feel a lot of the movies / later tv work he did was only to support his habit, I remember hearing some stories of him just being a terror to work with - he knew the projects were shit but needed to money to get high.

 

[DominusOdium]

I gave a fuck about Norm and Gilbert. That's about it.

 

[Torque’sHeadBump]

Nobody fucking cried for me. I even got shafted at the Oscar memorial.

I’m not gonna lie, Abe, I was shaking and holding back tears when I saw that shit!

 

[Torque’sHeadBump]

Plenty of old Polish women will be crying in Poznan that they will have no more new music to cure their insomnia.

Życie trudne, stary.

 

[AntSucks]

I was very sad when James Gandolfini died but apart from that they're usually old or drug addicts. It seems like one dies every week too, so it gets exhausting.

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Has anyone read Perry’s book? I only want to read it if he said anything about his movie “Almost Heroes” with Chris Farley (who was already dead when it came out) just for the set stories. Perry was a long time addict and Farley of course was also a wild man so it was really the last two people that should have been working together due to their addiction issues.

Gilbert dying did suck. Add that to my list.

Breuer said on Stern that when he hosted SNL after he left that they told him not to talk to Farley at all.

Holy shit I forgot about that one. That movie was not good.

 

[PickleRickle]

I've only ever cared about Norm and Dimebag dying. Everyone else I never gave a shit.

To trudne, stary.

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Holy shit I forgot about that one. That movie was not good.

And it was Christopher Guest movie!

 

[JamesJCrowe]

Especially after a shit load of them have died, the past few years have been full of celebrity deaths, makes me numb to it

I remember that, Farley was such a mess on that episode that I think Lorne tried to keep it out of syndicated reruns on Comedy Central. He died like less than 3 months later and the open skit was mocking Farley’s addiction problems. He was on an oxygen tank between skits.

Yep, that’s what I was talking about. Poor guy. Too talented for this world.
