Such a shame.  At least it wasn't drug or alcohol related.  I liked him.

That's crazy. I liked him on the Def Jam Comedy Tour.......to quote him.
He was as good as a bacon and egg sam-which.

The next day, Isaac Hayes dies at the age of 65.  What's going on???

There was once an old time superstition that stars died in threes.  I can’t prove any of this but it sure seems like over the years this has always been the case.

Maybe Morgan Freeman tricked 'em?

I'm glad Freeman is all right. He is a great actor.

Steel guitarist Don Helms, the last remaining member of Hank Williams' original Drifting Cowboys Band, has died from a heart attack.  On the heels of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes, this now makes the third peforming dying in the last few days.  Helms was 81.

I don't wish that even on snakes.  However I did hear that John Edwards is really Bill Clinton's love child!
