Dead Celebs - 2003

[Dubya]

That episode is one of the all time funniest sitcom shows. I loved WKRP as a kid and for more than just the receptionists boobs. I am having a brain fart and can't remember her name.

Loni Anderson played the receptionist Jennifer. That episode is a classic. I also like the one where Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap were drinking on air with the cop in the studio to show the effects of drinking on reflexes. Johnny Fever kept getting faster and faster while Venus Flytrap kept getting more and more silly.

I love that episode! That's the one I always remember. Dr. Johnny Fever was awesome. I remember the first episode when the station changes format to rock and he changed his on-air name to Dr. Johnny Fever. He then spent the rest of the episode trying to remember the name he gave himself and asking everyone else what it was. Very funny.

And I really liked Gordon Jump in that show.

This has been a really tough year on entertainers...

Just heard on the way into work that Robert Palmer died of a massive heart attack in Paris last night. He was 54.

Just saw that. Man, and he stayed away from the hard lifestyle at least as far as I've heard. Sigh. *Goes in search of 'Addicted to Love'.*

Here's another for the growing list: George Plimpton

Well, he smoked like a chimney apparently. I've heard he was fond of the drinky too.

This in refernce to Robert Palmer or George Plimpton? Either way, not exactly a "hard" lifestyle. Especially not for palmer who has been involved in music for ages, as a singer, musician, or writer for Rolling Stone. I'll miss him, and more than anyone else this year, this is the news that hurt. I've always been a fan of Robert Palmer, impressed with his style, panache and musical integrity.

Ah yes, George Plimpton...the man who convinced my father to buy us an Intellivision.

Do yourselves a favor and read Paper Lion if you get a chance. Number 0 will be missed.

An Intellivison? How did thathappen? Did Plimptopn do ads for the system?

I had one of those things. I loved it.
