Yeah I heard about it this morning on Dave and Chuck the freak coming into school. Sad stuff . It's always so pointless when someone ODs, makes me mad.

I just read this on someone's facebook. I am not really all that surprised, but still. its so sad... :(

[Oh_My_Goth]

Not at all surprised by this.. Is sad indeed, but I am quite honestly surprised it didn't happen sooner... He has had a drug problem since the 80's.

I dislike the term accidental in this case...you KNOW, heroin KILLS...randomly...you buy it anyways...you must want to die.

Copied from the FB:

I figure, in light of modern science, mourning for an OD (especially DOPE) is lame...they WANTED to die...actions speak louder than words.....That said, I still pray for an easy passage..AMEN

Sadness.

Liked his work, even "Dream a Little Dream."

Ironically, Licensed to Drive was out (and I saw in the theaters,) during Driver's Education. My friends and I saw many a disturbing, but funny, parallel.

...

Yes, I learned to drive in 1988.

hey, some of us have compression fx's for real... and arthritis from... er, well, overuse.

so, i'm taking this personally... go find another way to personify OLD or my arthritic ass will have something to prove when i get up there. (note: my ass itself does not have arthritis. wait, can asses even get arthritis? that's rhetorical.)

ahem... back to the thread at hand. yes, it's sad.

[Confess]

My first thought was that it should have been Feldman first.

[IsleofRhodesEnt]

not a shocker.

Corey Haim was not a rockstar

Most rockstars can live through an OD or two.

Except Keith Richards....who lives through them ALL....course he calls them "naps"
