It's been a few days. Can I say I didn't like Whitney Houston now?

[Dixon Carter Lee]

She had a great voice and had a friend in Jesus and started Foundations for dying puppies and what not -- but she chose a dumbass dangerous hardcore lifestyle with her fuckwit husband and spent nearly 20 years pissing away everything good in her life and destroying her body with drugs while little girls dreamed of being her. I didn't hate her, or give her much thought, but it's been a few days and I can now say I didn't like her very much.

And "The Bodyguard" sucked.

 

[Wings27]

For once I agree with you.

 

[CHNOPS]

Whitney Houston died?

 

[Notsogentleman]

Whitney who?

 

[Disgustipated]

Lifted from another spot:

Candle light vigil for Whitney Houston.................May you rest in peace.
PS. When you see MJ tell him I said GFY.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Four days for Whitney Houston, and yet you still cannot tell an Abraham Lincoln joke

 

[Liar]

I never cared for her music. I heard maybe one semi-interresting one, and I can't even remember what it's called.

She was cute as a button though, before she went downhill.

Lifted from another spot:

That is a riot!

 

[pointless]

i remember thinking she was kinda hot back in the day. that's pretty much covers it for me.

 

[RobDownSouth]

you could have said it day one.

do kids learn not to do that shit when their favourite makes the leap, or do they simply revere them all the more, hyped on all the outpourings of 'the one and only/she was a goddess/no-one sang/will ever sing like whitney/whitney/whitney/whitney...'? an early and dramatic death never fails to send an artiste's sales rocketing, adds some extra allure to those easily impressed.

When James Dean died, Sam Goldwyn was reputed to have said, "good career move."

wouldn't surprise me. he looked great doing moody, but as an actor? how many films did he really have in him? was no marlon brando.

 

[GracefullyYours]

fuckwit

I love that word.

And since she hasn't been relevant for several years....I'm pretty much over the radio stations now playing her shit ad nauseam.

James Dean is buried nearby and I've been to his grave.
It's been a few years but I still have a couple pics.

What's the story with Rogers in back? Is he a vampire or something?

I'm not saying yes but they close the cemetery after dark. Coincidence?

I sorta feel sorry for other people buried there. As you go in there are signs pointing you to Deans grave as if none of the others matter.

My father lived in this weird over-50 community in Florida for the last 10 or 12 years of his life. He was a fascinating guy, a street-brawler from the Bronx who couldn't help it that he was also almost always the smartest or best-read guy in the room. It always seemed weird to me to think of him in this strange, uniform, manicured slice of anonymity, with its curved roads and cookie-cutter houses, but he actually seemed to like it.

Then he died, and is now "living" in this well-manicured, uniform, weird slice of anonymity with curved roads and cookie-cutter gravestones, an artificially idyllic plot of land in bumfuck New Jersey. Whenever I visit, I always think how strange it is, that our places of (and in) "death" are just a continuation of our places of and in life.

Notice the lipstick marks on the stone? I find that really weird. I don't know why it bugs me but it does.
