Reedick only was 60. We should feel deprived of decades of amazing performances - like when Gandolfini died too young. .

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Moon Bin, a singer from South Korean boyband Astro, was found dead at his home in Seoul, his management agency said Thursday.

The 25-year-old was reportedly found by his manager who went to the singer's home Wednesday evening because he wasn't responding to contacts. Police are investigating his death but have so far found no signs of foul play, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency. Officials at Seoul's Gangnam district police station did not respond to calls for comment.

Moon Bin's management agency, Fantagio, confirmed his death in a statement, saying that he "suddenly left us and became a star in the sky" and that fellow artists and company staff were mourning him with "very deep sadness and shock."

I never realized that he was actually English.

Or a former liberal mayor of Cincinnati who ran for governor of Ohio and previously worked on Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign.

I could never quite decide if Jerry Springer caused the decline of American civilization, or merely reflected it. Probably mostly the latter, but he was a catalyst, to be sure.

I enjoyed his show when I was young before it went completely off the rails.

The first time I became aware of the Fall of the American Empire was when I watched Jay Leno's bit Jay Walking many years ago (watch on YouTube).

…and the viewing audience who gave it life via ratings. Yes, dajo, this means you.

…and, I was going to say, most of the many human hours wasted on all of BI can certainly be considered in this examination of the decline of American civilization.

The most generous explanation I can resolve myself to is that people get so excited about seeing Jay on the street or the prospect of getting interviewed for TV that they can't think straight.

Sadly, I think I'm wrong. People really are that dumb!
