      Except people stop coming into this particular area of the forum because it's literally just "This person died, this person died, this person died, I bought a new TV, this person died, this person died". Last time I brought this up, this forum went up in activity because people stopped posting about every death and the area of the forum was more of a community of general discussion. All the constant death, doom and gloom heavily weighs down a section of the forum that should be a fun, more interesting part of the boards, IMO.

      I feel like this makes a great case for exactly why they shouldn't be given their own thread.

            I’m not sure, but was Henry’s likeness used for the Mego Tarzan box art pic? to me it kind of looks like him in sort of a comic art way. I’m curious to know if anyone here knows the history behind the art on the Mego Tarzan box?

                  Shame to hear about Butch Reed, but not entirely unexpected. Sounded like he was in bad shape the other day when it was announced he'd had two heart attacks.

                      I wasn't a fan of his "this time the girl is going to stay" but when Elvis and Spock cover your song you pretty much are a legend.

                        Trying not to speak ill-will of the dead but I remember him being kinda of an azzhole.

                        He wouldn't sing Raindrops at his concerts because he didn't wanna be pegged as a "one hit wonder"

                        Mr BJ, if you were THAT serious, why didn't you refund EVERBODY that came to your concerts to hear Raindrops live ?

                        Yea, I think he was an azzhole

                          Lol!
                          I love it when people say they don’t mean to speak ill of the dead, then they proceed to do just that! Like prefacing their comments with that statement negates the intent.

                            I'm guilty of some of that, I thought Harry from night court gave off creep vibes when everyone else was waxing poetic about him. lol

                            I think with celebrities and notable social figures we have to keep in mind we don't know them personally. Even if you met them once or twice, everyone has good and bad days and how that treated you that day was part of that.

                              If I was a popular celeb … regardless of my personal feelings ……. i'd be kissing the public's behind no matter what.

                              If you were jackhammering an overfilled concrete column for a new sewer pipe (yes, I've been there) … would you complain if somebody wanted to hear you sing a song ?

                                What's more annoying is when you are watching something like Adventures of Superman and a family member walks by and says oh George Reeves he's dead. Thanks for the breaking news update
