Thank you for all the laughter you've given me thru the years....You will be missed.

Very sad.

Another 'other worldly' bummer. This is up there with Lady Di, Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Bon Scott.

I grew up with the jokester. Mork and Mindy, and onward.

He could make me laugh so hard, and I can't recall all the times he did, because he did so more times than I can count. However, I kind of recall one time. It was during the time of Presidency of George Bush Sr. I saw him on the idiot box doing a standup routine. He raised a dollar bill above his head, and said something to the effect of "How many presidents are so important that they have their wife on the dollar bill?", or something like that.  :rofl:

God rest his soul. His demons can no longer torture him.

Be understanding, watchful, and supporting of those suffering with depression. I wish I could express that better. If you ever had a family member or friend with this affliction you know that often they difficult can be to be around. I cant imagine how painful this condition must be. Try to be there for them.

"Shaz-bott...na nu,nanu!" Robin and Bon are probably havin a good laugh on that one right now.                                                                                       It's really just sad man...very very sad!

I wonder...

...if he had an FJ, if he'd still be around!

During a jaunt on a bike, any sort of depression *I* have just melts away!

Does anyone know if he rode bikes at all?

One time after a concert, I stood around with a guy who had parked his cruiser near the FJ, talking bikes & music while our girlfriends patiently rolled their eyes.  My date told me afterward, "It seems like motorcycle riders are friendlier on average than most people."

I told her "I think that's because we're in a better mood on average than most people, because we're riding motorcycles."

I skipped a Boone Rally a few years ago because I had just recently lost a job (out of the blue, and it was a job I'd had for 15 years) and I basically hadn't slept since April.  I didn't want to spend the $100 on gas, I wasn't sure I was safe to ride, and frankly I didn't even really care to ride motorcycles - I didn't want to do anything except go to sleep, and hopefully wake up thinking "whew, THAT was a weird nightmare, I dreamt I lost my job!"  I don't know if that counts as depression, even. 

But I know that depression is no joke; it can be *bad.*

It's just unthinkable that someone who brought laughter, entertainment, and joy to millions of people around the world could be haunted by such demons.

Huge hole in the fabric of life.

His HBO concert in San Francisco way back at the beginning of his career is a classic.  I think I wore out the VHS tape.
