I have little artistic sensibility but for me, Peter Max and Leroy Neiman epitomized popular art in the 1960s and 1970s - colorful, exuberant, just fun. In addition, both guys were superb marketers of their work. I still have this poster:

Mid 20's son of Cindy Crawford dies in a rehab. Tragic story of a kid who never felt comfortable in his own skin. This is why fame and Hollywood and the LA culture (or the Hamptons) is no good.

Cindy Crawford's Daughter Kaia Spoke About Brother Presley Gerber's Addiction Weeks Before His Death


"Other dudes are living in the ghetto
Been born in Pacific Heights, don't seem much better

I go crazy 'cause my folks are so f@ucking rich
Have to score when I get that rich white punk itch
Sounds so classy living in a chateau
So lonely, all the other kids will never know

We're white punks on dope
Mom and Dad live in Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can't clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope (White punks on dope)"
The Tubes, 1975

I'll be very interested to learn the cause of death. Few years ago, a friend of mine from high school died in a rehab because apparently if you are an alcoholic and quit cold turkey, the body can have some sort of adverse stress or shock reaction that kills you. That's what happened to my friend. Is that what happened here?

Or was he taking more drugs and secret? Or was it suicide?

At any rate, we are back to my staunch opposition to recreational drug and alcohol use. Every family has some sort of history with this, we're just injuring ourselves.

Garcia died in his room at the the Serenity Knolls treatment center in Forest Knolls, California on August 9, 1995. The cause of death was a heart attack, likely due to diabetes and his poor diet.

Substance abuse haunts both sides of my family. Just thinking of my unalive cousins, there were two raging alcoholics, one meth addict and one heroin addict*. Their lives were s***.

what, is today official share and tell tuesday? alrighty then, i'm blessed with one living "bother", who lives in san diego (forever); most likely will never see him again. a self-employed now and then plumber, whose home belongs to a zero mortgage company. we fought constantly as kids, both/neither won, and look forward to keeping in touch by phone several times a year. his best times were motorcycle hill / dirt biking.

The only other time I was conscious of seeing her in a movie was a cheesy early 80's Chuck Norris vehicle called Forced Vengeance:



…..and speaking of Animal House and Belushi, if you ever feel the need to clear the fog in your brain caused by the books that you are proud to announce at cocktail parties that you have read, Otter's book gives a pretty interesting ground level view of Hollywood from a guy who has worked there for 7 decades. His reflections of working with the Beaver, Belushi, Clint Eastwood, etc. are pretty interesting.

A deceased cousin of mine had to become a ward of the state of Utah. He was mentally deranged, homeless, an addict. One of his brothers blamed it on a motorcycle accident which split his helmet. Another family member asked if his steroid use had an impact. But I don't wonder about genes. He has another brother homeless in San Diego, addicted to painkillers. I opened my home to him (going down and collecting him, paying his debt), but he went back.
And, I lost my brother 2 years ago to addiction.

To be clear, that was before these charges were known.

Your boys and girls in blue who are disgusting:
Anthony Weiner, Keith Farnham, Stacie-Marie Laughton, Omar Torres, Harold "H.L." Moody Jr., Mel Reynolds, Mark Benavides, Cecil Brockman, Tony Navarrete, Neil Cohen, Stephen Jabbour, Patrick Wojahn, Dennis "Denny" Doyle, Jeff Rosato

Many more to add to that list but I think my point is made. There are gross people on both sides of the political aisle and making it a partisan issue is a slap in the face to all of those who are impacted by these issues.

You're exactly right I haven't heard of most of your list. Because they weren't the President and Speaker of the House which the Republicans are currently protecting.

Our current president isn't a pedophile and has been charged with no crimes related to that. The crimes weren't known when he was speaker of the house. Your argument is flawed from the start.

This isn't a partisan issue. Arguing that it is shows how one sidedly blinded you are.
