Don't be sad. They're the lucky ones. We have to live in this hell. They don't.

I wish I was dead. I just watched Robert Trujillo and Kirk Hammett rape and kill and then rape Prince's corpse in Minneapolis. Fucking hell.

They make those things for literally everything. They'll have Bill Cosby Pops by the end of next year.

Bill Cosby didn't have a problem with commercialism and his likeness and all that.

I won’t be able to resist if they ever make Bowie from the Aladdin Sane cover.

Bob Einstein (better known to some of us as Super Dave Osborne), "Mean" Gene Okerlund, and Daryl Dragon (better known as "The Captain" from Captain and Tenille). All three were 76 years old and all three died today.
Interesting tidbit about Daryl Dragon: he was frequently mentioned when other more talented musicians died, as in "David Bowie's dead, but the Captain from Captain and Tenille is still alive!" or "Why does Freddie Mercury have to die when the Captain from Captain and Tenille is just fine?" Now he's not.

"The Dragon and Tenille" would've been a much cooler name. People in the 70s were dumb.

Cooler name for a rock band, but he had to change it, so they could make softass music.

Muskrat Love is fucking great! No one else but the Captain has been so forward-thinking to have used a synthesizer to recreate the lovemaking of rodents. Give me yacht rock or give me death.
It's funny, we were talking last week about Gene Okerlund, and I mentioned I thought he had died. Looked him up and he hadn't. Dang.
And I used to love Super Dave when he'd show up on Letterman.

King Kong Bundy was found dead this morning as well. He died yesterday from what I've read. The "rule of three" took all three in one day.

I'm really hoping this isn't the case, but if you only know Rip Torn from Dodgeball, do yourself a favor and go watch King of Kings, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Payday, Cross Creek, Summer Rental, Defending Your Life, and The Larry Sanders Show.

The man was superb in everything he ever did...acting-wise, anyway. He wasn't too great at killing Norman Mailer or robbing banks.

Loved him in the Men in Black movies, too. Just looking him up in IMDB, he worked pretty steadily for 60 years. Incredible.
