Still love his Coors commercial from when I was younger. RIP Les.

Talk about dedication to the guitar. I heard a story where he severely broke his arm and it had to be set and would heal in a permanent position. He sat and bent his arm in the position to where he could play guitar, and told the doctors to set it there.

Les Paul is a legend. His guitars are my favorite. Im lucky to have one. They are crazy expensive now.

When Eunice Kennedy Shriver died I said, "Geez, I would have thought Teddy was going to be next." Well, I must have reminded God. RIP Ted.

Thank god that fat bastard finally bit it. I'm buying donuts for my office tomorrow to celebrate. Can't wait for all the gushing tributes to this P.O.S.. If you thought Michael Jackson's life was whitewashed when he kicked, wait until the Globe and every other liberal outlet is done with Teddy....

The question with Teddy is if he killed her or just let her die.

[chippa13 1844]

Well, he had 8 hours and 25 phone calls to folks to help him decide which it was.

Man, what is it with that family and head-related deaths.

[EBondo 232]

Just saw this. DJ AM, who many of you might know from the airplane accident that occurred last year with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, died today. Apparently drugs played a part.

Final Destination is more true than I thought.

it's a same too. Seems like he had some major mental demons after the crash, and went back to drugs after being sober for some 8 years.

[EBondo 232]

He was actually sober for ten, they were making a show about his battle with drugs and then him being able to continue his life in sobriety. Crazy...I was watching a video about him earlier, he has some 600+ pairs of shoes...not even THockey can beat that haha

[mack 44]

That guy's a celebrity? All I've got on his resume is he was a crackhead; dated that broomstick Nicole Richie; was in a plane crash with Travis Barker.

^^^ you forgot to add that after the crash he tried to sue the pilots families or something dumb in that are

Just a recap ...

[RadioGaGa 162]

Just a recap ...

3 months left in the year...a little earlier for a "Year in Review" isn't it?

Patrick Swayze died.

Also, don't know if you guys heard, Ernie Harwell has inoperable cancer, and less than a year to live.

Swayze (aka: Sutton) had some of the best lines in Youngblood. What a legend he was.

RIP weary dancer.

[EBondo 232]

Had to repeat what I just saw someone say on Facebook...

I hope Kanye West doesn't show up to Patrick Swayze's funeral. "I'll let you get back to your funeral in a minute, but Michael Jackson had the best death of the year! Just sayinnn'. "

Got a kick out of that. RIP Pat
