I wish I could say I missed him, but he took a turn I really didn't like in his later years. Rest in peace anyway I guess.
What did he end up doing? I saw him in Los Angeles when I was a kid but he seemed to kind of drop off the planet and I never heard much about him.
Went kinda racist and homophobic. I saw one problematic clip a few years ago but just stopped thinking about it after that.
Could just have been his true nature. Like that kid at Kentucky U. She said she was drunk, and she’s not really like that. I’m feeling it says a lot that she offered an excuse before she offered an apology. Could have been a mental change after his stroke (which was followed pretty quick by a heart attack.) The sledge hammer routine was his only good bit anyway.
Merhan Karimi Nasseri, the man who inspired the Tom Hanks movie Terminal, has died at the same airport he lived in for eighteen years. He recently began living at the airport again. The article doesn't mention it, but I recall he had some mental health issues in addition to his visa difficulties.
Oh no! Eon was recommended to me recently. It's in my short list (pile, more accurately) of novels to read. Sad news.
So sad to hear of the passing of Christine McVie. R.I.P. Fleetwood Mac were one of the first bands that drew me into the world of music. They are one of my all-time favourites.
