Last week, Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band "Boston" killed himself at his home in New Hampshire.
Come on, you know their songs. They released "More then A Feeling", arguably one of the greatest songs. And yes, there is no qualifier, I said one of the greatest songs, and I mean ever. Go ahead, argue with me. I would have to put it up there right with Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, Chicago’s Hard Habit to Break and Foreigner’s Juke Box Hero. Sure, it’s no Night Ranger (Sister Christian), but hell, I’ll even go so far to say as I like it better then Barry Manilow’s Mandy and Air Supply’s All Out of Love. And yes, I am being dead serious… no pun intended.
So then on Saturday, Richard Jeni, the comedian, shot and killed himself in West Hollywood. A little from the article:
"Police found the 49-year-old comedian inside a West Hollywood home
Saturday morning, after responding to an emergency call. The caller, a
woman whom officials did not identify, told the operator, "My boyfriend
shot himself in the face,'' said LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman. Eisenman said suicide had not been officially confirmed and the
investigation was continuing. “
Then, I was just informed by a friend that this kind of thing is an EPIDEMIC in Korea. They are just struggling with a string of celebrity suicides, the latest, a pop star. From that article:
"26-year-old Korean pop singer, Yuni, was found dead of an apparent suicide at her home in Incheon. Her grandmother discovered her body hanging from a bar in her closet with a waistband around her neck.Yuni’s parents told police that the singer had been depressed lately. She was about to release her third album after a two-year hiatus, and some believe the stress was too much.
Her parents blamed Korea’s vibrant Internet culture, where rumors and derogatory comments about celebrities are openly exchanged. Yuni entered show business as an actress and was quickly transformed into a dance pop singer complete with a sexy image.
Yuni’s is only the most recent of a number of high-profile suicides of show business celebrities in Korea."
Sorry for the tangent today. Yes, I am sick. I already know that. You should see my book and movie collection... no, no off-the-wall S&M stuff. Just books on serial killers and such. Need recommendations, let me know.
So to recap:
Madam Lash? No
Albert Fish? Yes
KISS FM? No
Supertramp? Yes
Ill post pics from the London Police show tomorrow, and who knows... maybe some other crazy crap.
