Wow , they say the 40's are tough on men, heart problems and such. I hope it wasn't drugs or booze.

LA has no heart. It's very superficial and uncaring.

every time I pop that Footloose soundtrack into the ol' 8-track player....it just won't be the same

the big question-will Sean pay to investigate the role that the Bush administration played in this death?
