Celebrity Death Thread

PT&A was my favorite John Candy movie. Uncle Buck was great too, I have both on DVD.

Steve Martin's f bomb fest in PT&A is still one of my favorite scenes. We have all been there, and have all been just as frustrated, and many of us had wished we could go off like that....

[Chuck Cunningham]

The scene in P T & A that made Candy's performance was when he really made you feel sorry for him in the hotel room after Martin went off on him. What I liked was up to that point you really felt sorry for Steve Martin getting stuck with this idiot and Candy really turned it on us and made us feel sorry for him.

"Between two pillows."

RIP Les!

Les Paul....Probably not a serious musician on the planet that doesnt know that name!!!.....Took me a few years to finally get a Gibson Les Paul but it is worth every penny.

[DanO]

It's probably worth even more now.

GO LIONS "09" !!!!!!!!!

:(. Hate that, Les will be remembered for his signature Gibsons.

When I first started playing seriously around 1989, I had a chance to buy a Les Paul 1959 double cutaway TV model for $400. My ex said NO...it was too much money for an OLD guitar. The next week she went out and bought herself a new ruby & diamond ring.

She "lost" the ring just before we seperated. I believe it was "donated" to help those less fortunate

[Newbomb Turk]

Honest to God, I thought turkeys could fly........

God Speed Les......

[Drew]

94 years. Wow. Does anyone know if he played in his older years?

Swimsuit Model Jasmine Fiore

Although not really a celeberty this is probably the best place to put this. She was found strangled & stuffed in a suitcase outside of LA 8-15-09 and identified on 8-18-09 (I believe). She was a very sweet girl that worked a show for a company I work for. It is all over the news out here and I believe it went national too. Sad when stuff like that happens. I hope they can get the person responsible for this, no one deserves this.

RIP Jasmine

Her husband is the prime suspect. They thought they had him nabbed in Seattle, WA last night but today's news is reporting that he has made it back to his native Canada.

[DanO]

That won't help him.
