Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld.

  1. Don't trivialize him as an 80s icon, the man was a genius.

  2. David Kutcher I didn't say he was only an 80s icon, but he certainly was at least an 80s icon, so he would belong in that set.

  3. I liked him best when his name was a symbol. That was hilarious and brilliant at the same time.

  4. So many great musicians and actors dying this year, Why?

  5. James Graham  Because the baby boomer celebrities were much more numerous than those previously limited to TV prominence, and our current social media set-up is much better at bubbling up this kind of human interest trivia (like who ever heard of Chyna until she died?)  http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-36108133
