And why is this relevant?

how is any of this relevant in the grand scheme of things? Exile reissue? Ronnie's daughter moving to Australia? Mick influenced by Tommy James? who is the tallest Rolling Stone?

What a shame. R.I.P.

It is real news in the entertainment world and maybe to some fans here. Not me in particular but it is posted as a OT.

Maybe I should have posted a thread about the Pope's brother slapping kids in the German choir in the 1960's or the Dutch politican Geert Wilders slamming Islam and calling for a ban of the "facist" religion in the Netherlands.

local boy, from Toronto. Lucas and License To Drive were two of my favourite movies when I was a kid.

Its a shame when any talent is wasted(and Haim had it regardless of if you are a fan or not) We dont know what sh-t or demons someone else has unless we can walk in their shoes. I for one just hate that another person goes down but sometimes nothing can be done. Just my thoughts-carries no more or less weight than anyone else.

ALL religion is fascist, ban 'em all.

Aww. Poor guy. Loved a lot of his films.

He was marginal at best over 25 years ago. he was a drug addict and his closest friends left him due to fear for their safety and the safety of their families.
Not relevant but you do have the right to post it and I have the right to wonder why...

My pizza delivery guy kinda looks like this. If only Corey could have found good, honest work like that. He might have been able to put this senseless pursuit of fame behind him and gotten on with his life!
