This one hit me right in the mortality. He was like synonymous with Miami Vice, which was synonymous with my teenage years.Originally Posted by FilanFyretracker

How many times over the last 20+ years have we all thought he was already long gone?

I'd post a link to Jefferson Airplane songs, but I'll save them for when Grace Slick dies.

JEEZ, 2016. Stop it!

What's happening is the 70s/80s are dying and most of us were kids then. Hurts just a little bit more.

Definitely. Plus we're moving into the WWII birth years, and there are a LOT of people in that generation.

Edgar Mitchell. Don't have a link.
Reddit was speculating he had CTE. I don't find that too unlikely. Even with just street the athletes get wrecked. In a recent x games a skateboarder nearly died when coming back down and missing the vert amp. It makes dropsins from helicopters (ala Danny Way) even more impressive to me. I can't find any decent YT clips of that event. It did not strike me as super impressive when I watched at the time because of how easy he made it look. I've grown to appreciate how dangerous it really was though.

Man that movie was fucking awesome! The opening credits were perfect. Ryan Reynolds killed it. Funniest movie I've seen in a long time.
part of me thinks this was actually intentional.

http://blackamericaweb.com/2016/02/1...hews-has-died/Multiple sources including MC Hammer and Minneapolis-based singer Jill Jones have confirmed via social media that Denise “Vanity” Matthews has died. She was reportedly 57 and had been battling a number of illnesses for the past several years.
Matthews was best known for her work in Prince’s girl group, Vanity 6 for which she was the lead singer while the two were dating. The Canadian-based actress/model was originally supposed to star in Purple Rain but left the group before the film starting shooting. She was replaced by Apollonia “Patty” Kotero in both the film and the group, who hit with “Sex Shooter” as Apollonia 6.
Vanity 6’s big hit was 1982’s “Nasty Girl” written and produced by Prince. Matthews went on to two solo albums with Motown star in the classic Black karate movie The Last Dragon with Taimak, Action Jackson and 52 Pick-Up. In recent years, Matthews, who struggled with a drug addiction, became a born-again Christian and started a ministry.
According to People Magazine, Matthews met Prince at the 1980 American Music Awards and they started dating. She was later engaged to Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx but the relationship was marred by heavy drug use by both. Matthews married former NFL star Anthony Smith who was just sentenced a few weeks ago to a life sentence for a triple murder. Matthews told Jet Magazine that she had renal failure and was on peritoneal dialysis for years. Matthews had recently experienced a health setback and was seeking funding to help pay for her medical bills via GoFundMe.
The fuck is going on? She put the erotic in dancer.
Death sux, she was my first teenage obsession

She also did a lot of hard drugs in her Prince years. The long term effects of that tends to be early expiration.
