Dead in 2011

[Diomedes]

The world those kids grew up in seems so much smaller to me than the one I did.  A guy like Oswley Stanley dies, and the obits highlight how closely knitted he was into the fabric of a generation of American artists and nutjobs, and it feels like everyone knew everyone, you know what I mean?  Guys who had little in common-Zappa didn't use drugs-were still part of the same thing.  Patti Smith and Robert Maplethorpe hung around Janis Joplin and Kris Kristofferson at the Chelsea Hotel.  Not exactly people you'd think were cut from the same cloth, but they were.  All of them all at the same time were wrapped up in something much bigger, a real scene.  Zappa and Captain Beefheart and Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal, all running around in the same area, playing with each other, what a time.

How'd he die?  Did someone run by and shoot him?

The outpouring of shock over the death of Liz Taylor in the media and on the net is nauseating.

[SunMo]

it really is

I know--how can somebody with congestive heart failure die?

[Sgt PSN]

Finally. Jesus.

He's been dead for 2000 years now.  Try and keep up, k? 

[Diomedes]

Not to nitpick, but If I remember correctly, Jesus was dead for only a few days and then he was resurrected.  So I think he's been alive for 2000 years now...

[Sgt PSN]

Pretty sure that's a myth.   

[Diomedes]

No more a myth than your fancy science, blasphemer.

[Sgt PSN]

Is Dio defending religion?  WTF is going on around here? 

[Diomedes]

Geraldine Ferraro.

And re: Liz Taylor...I heard that she stipulated that her funeral start 15 minutes later than advertised, which it did.  That cracked me up.
