Bring out your dead

 


Ozzie Osbourn just died. He was 76 years old. He was followed by Malcom-Jamal Warner, age 54, Chuck Mangione, 84, and Hulk Hogan, 71. It's that old myth about famous people dying in threes. But I suppose four can pass on, at the same time, too. I was particularly sad about Ozzie, although I wasn't really a Black Sabbath fan. I used to watch his reality series and marvel at how unintelligible he was. I thought he was older than 76. 

I wasn't a big Cosby Show fan, but Malcom-Jamal Warner seemed like an okay guy. Sad to drown on vacation. Chuck Mangione was one of those New Age Jazz guys from the 80s. I kind of liked his music. Hulk Hogan was a cartoon character to me. I've never really thought much of professional wrestling. You would have thought he was in pretty good shape, but he died of a heart attack. So you never know.

Regardless, I hope they all find peace in wherever you end up after you die.
