The All Purpose 'Celebrity Death' Thread

Thread is self explanatory. I thought it might be good to have one all purpose thread where we could post celebrity deaths.

As my initial contribution, Davy Jones of Monkees fame died of a heart attack yesterday.

IMO, they don't warrant a thread at all, but hey that's just me.

This beats the hell out of every decade irrelevant puts who died in his 80s getting his or her own thread.

Also, Andrew Breitbart (Conservative blogger and, judging by the name, German spy) died at something like 48. Too lazy to find a link.

All I know is that the liberals killed him so he'd stop pointing out what fucking idiots they are/were.

Mikey, you never did feel ways about stuff, did you?

Rest in Peace, Chief Jay Strongbow.

Mike Wallace has passed away, too.

Apparently some people have poor reading comprehension and/or listening skills: Some people think Steelers WR Mike Wallace is the one who died.

The fucking headline wasn't very clear, goddamn it.

Seriously though, it's unfortunate Mike Wallace (the white geezer, not Black Lightning) had to die. It would have just been peaches if he could have lived forever. God knows that, at 93, he was well on his way to doing just that.

Andrew Love, one half of the legendary Memphis Horns, succumbed to Alzheimers.

Dwayne Schintzius - former NBAer and member of the Mullet Hall of Fame, passes away from complications of leukemia at 42.

DICK CLARK DIED!

I would think Dick Clark would be someone worthy of their own thread.

Levon Helm of The Band passes away from cancer at 71.

He was crazy talented.

* cues up "The Load" *

ETA: Which is apparent;y, "The Weight", which I've been calling by the wrong name forever.

Weight, load, same thing, right?

Weight = That thing men lift

Load = That thing on the porn star's face.

So no, they're not the same thing.

Junior Seau, 10-time All-Pro linebacker, has apparently committed suicide. He was 43.

He is also the eighth member of the 1994 San Diego Chargers - the franchise's only Super Bowl team - to die before the age of 45.

I was wondering about that. All that I'd heard was that he was found dead, with no cause of death given.

Sad.

18-1 finally drove someone to suicide, eh? Too bad it had to be the one remotely likeable fellow on that team of insufferable cheaters and assclowns.

I first heard about this last night. We were all trippin' on 'shrooms and eating in McDonald's, and weirdly enough the McDonald's was playing this really generic techno music and Anderson Cooper was on the TV talking about his suicide, about how brain injuries must have made him do it or something. The really weird part is it sounded like Anderson Cooper's voice was syncing up with the beat perfectly, and the state of permanent confusion on his face was hilarious to our drug-addled minds.

One of the most surreal moments I've ever had in a McDonalds...

Adam Yauch - MCA of The Beastie Boys - dead at 47. Cause is unknown, but is suspected to be the cancer he'd been receiving treatment for.

Cue Mikey boasting about how he's never listened to a Beastie Boys song in five... four... three...

Obviously, that is the tragedy here.
