Absolutely! Most people I knew growing up are gone, most didn't reach
fifty. Several childhood friends didn't make ten years old, Polio.

How the Hell would you know he was troubled? You didn't care about him or
his music, so MYOB, there is nothing that says you have to comment
negatively on every single thing...and 57 is not an old fart by any
standard, especially by someone your age, now...that's an old fart!

I heard of him but never thought of him, wasn't until now that I

But you went out of your way, upon this passing introduction to accuse
him of being:


"an asshole Percocet addict"


"they are assholes, there's no other explanation"

"Anyone who chooses to raise themselves to celebrity status by taking
their own life was never anything"

"I found nothing about him attractive, not his performance, definitely
not his appearence, what an ugly human being... I think he worked at
making himself unattractive."

"He was obviously quite troubled"

Wow.

All THAT for someone you claim to have "never thought of"!

That's some deathly, angry, focused enmity on such a spontaneous basis,
innit?

The real tell here is what a sad, poisoned, attention-hungry, angry
little ****wit you are.

You'd dance on Christ's corpse if you thougth someone would pay
attention to you doing so.

You're a lonely, needy old man, and a real asshole to the core.

Some people are old farts at 20, and some people aren't who are
octogenarians. It's a state of mind.

That's the problem with allowing them to be placed at all, they never
get removed. there are also all the white bicycles that are placed as
a memorial. People who care and are responsible are already driving
carefully and aware of what is going on around them. Then there are
the other people who don't even recognize a problem exists let alone
give a damn. These 'memorials' intrude on landowners property,
public right of ways, are an eyesore and cause extra work for others.
I personally don't believe these memorials are placed because of a
deep mourning need but rather to gain personal attention.

I concur. Music has never been a factor in my life, one can say to me
music is TIAD. I heard of Prince but never associated him with
purple, I can honestly say I never heard of purple rain... I'm still
clueless what purple rain is about. Okay, had to check it out:
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=...88&FORM=VRDGAR
I watched/listened for like 30 seconds and realized he has no voice,
can't carry a tune, and never took diction lessons. Prince could
never compete on any level with Sammy Davis Jr., who also died fairly
young, age 64, of throat cancer.

Let me guess, he gave himself a degenerative hip condition too, AND

Some animals seem to enjoy captivity and domestication. Dogs and cats
have been domesticated for years and some learn to love doing things for
their owners. When I worked in marine park the animals certainly seemed
to enjoy doing their shows.

OMG, some of the versions I have heard have been horrible, especially
those who are used to singing with a modulating voice and can't hit a
not and have to warble around until they get it.

Last year they had Justin Bieber doing the half time show for the Grey
Cup game. People were upset because the audience booed. It is the first
time I ever saw him perform and I was not impressed with his singing. I
don't know who the genius was who thought that the people who watch
football would be appreciate a bubble gum pop idol.

Our neighbours were upset about a memorial that ended up on their front
lawn and the crowds of students that used to hang out on their lawn
after a local student was killed in a motorcycle accident in front of
their house. I remember the incident well because the kid had been an
accident looking for a place to happen. It was early in motorcycle
season. I used to get home from work at 3:45 pm and every day for a
preceding week and a half this guy would come flying down the road. It
is a 60 kph zone and he would be doing well over 100 kph on his crotch
rocket. One afternoon at the usual time an oncoming vehicle had crossed
the centre line because of a flock of geese. The kid crested the hill at
high speed and hit her head on. He was dead on impact.

He was the author of his misfortune. It had been only a matter of time
before he crashed and the only good thing about it is that no one else
was killed or injured. The neighbours kept removing attempts at
shrines and started shooing kids away from their property.

Of COURSE Shelly doesn't know that, or as in so many instances, much of

He went off on the man because he's a lonely old fart with a drinking
problem and some considerable envy.

He does this to get attention here, and sadly in the bully fish tank

I'm old but I'm far from lonely, and I probably drink substantially
less than most people here, I just have no need to feel inadequate by
admitting that I buy less expensive booze... and I've no reason to be
envious, I live very well.

>He does this to get attention here, and sadly in the bully fish tank

Sounds like you're who's envious, with your agonzing over the
attention paid to others. All one can say is it must make you feel
less despondant to imagine other's live lesser lives. Besides you

Let me guess, this is the first time you have ever considered that the
media like to whip up rumors?

Now do tell us how he arranged for his passing.

This should be 'good'...

But that's NOT what the reports said, is it?

He flew home early because the hosp[ital he went to would not give him a
private room.

You;re so far ****ing out of touch it BOGGLES the mind of the reasonable
man.

This nation is in the midst of a major opioid crisis.

The result of too much prescription usage has been that those who become
addicted to to heroin which is cheaper.

Read up, fool and get your head out of your ASS!

Gatsas, who has made fighting the heroin epidemic in the Queen City a

administration of Oxycontin to children from age 11 to 16 who are
suffering from extreme pain. "Where is the outrage about that?" the
mayor asked.

Yes, I and all other reasonable adults know he WAS a man.

And his coterie of girlfriends, two wives, etc. can attest as much.

That "homely" man was well liked by the most attractive women on the planet.

No imagination involved, you demonstrate you own provincial complex for
all to see.

Only a moron like you would cast aspersion upon the Land of Enchantment,
but that's at least partly an environmental bigotry born of your years
in the mis-perceived center of the universe, Lung Eyeland.

Sad to say noo yawkas overcompensate for their stolid conditions even
more belligerently than Texans!

> Besides you don't belong here, you can't cook.

You're dished out that insipid gruel before to myself and almost all others.

This from some slop chef from a tin can.

It is to laugh, Mr. Bulk Me Up king.

You either have a tapeworm or the metabolism of a 16 year old.

So much so that you come back for more and more.

Attention whores are like that.

No, it was time three or so posts back, but you're so needy you had to
see if you had the stones to run with me.

As ever you proved an utter failure.

That 'little man' brought disproportionate levels of joy, satisfaction,
entertainment, and mentoring of female pop artists into this world and
did so with a playfully genuine nature that makes him a true social icon.

I'm reminded of the stanza from the Righteous Brothers great song:

"If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band"

The bear has MANY choices - army cutworm moths, whitebark pine nuts,
berries, trout, elk, dandelion, clover, spring-beauty, horsetail, ants,
strawberry, deer, globe huckleberry, grouse whortleberry, buffaloberry,
carcasses of bull bison, etc.

Why would you believe they lack dietary choices?

You just got hoist by your own elitist petard.

I thank you kindly for making my day!

The knowledge that II am an irritant to bullies, bigots, doddering
narrow-minded old farts, and misanthropes and of course the overt
misogynists that reside here is a great and abiding comfort to me and I
deeply appreciate your gracious observation on the matter.

I also know people who have died and have memorials for them.

I begrudge no family the right to, within state and local laws, express
their lasting love for their lost ones and simultaneously remind us all
to pay attention, slow down, and let the passenger handle the 'smart' phone.
