Believe it or not, I didn't know too much about Zevon until I watched a
documentary of his life (and dying) made in 2003 and thought - shit - how
come I hadn't been paying better attention to him? .. :( Anyway, it was a
wonderful film. He demonstrated no self-pity; and even though you knew he
was going to die, you were rooting for him to hang in there.

I never met Heath Ledger. While I'm saddened more by his death than

in a DVD or something. That's as close to him as I've ever been.
But I can't pop in a DVD, say of my friend Monty or Lan or Joe or my

Good points!
I don't know why Heath Ledger's death hits home so hard. It's just an
actor that I don't know at all. I really think it's because of the
character he played in Brokeback. It makes me sad to think of that
story...

This is a good point. I think a lot of people, well myself anyway, when we
miss a celeb from another time, it has much to do with our emotional and
experiential memories of those days. I miss The 3 Stooges, for instance,
because I am reminded of the innocence of my childhood when I would sit
right in front of the little B&W TV set and laugh like crazy. Gilda Radner?

I had this discussion over the last couple of weeks due to the death of Sir
Edmund Hillary. News reports wax on about a loved Kiwi and how he'll be
missed etc. I had respect for him but not love. Journos get so seriously
screwed up with the word love. It irritates the hell out of me really

Yes i'm hearing you. The film visual, aural thing is so tremendously
impacting isn't it compared to a photo.
I have some relatives that have died on home videotapes and when you see
them and hear them it's like WHAMMO they are there...whereas a photo is nice
but there is no ... 'realism' with it...like being able to see quirky
mannerisms or hear the deceased laugh or just chatter away.

I think you missed my point, unless your stillbirth said "you'll never
amount to anything, you're a big feckin' disappointment so why don't you
top yourself."
I've put the statement from the previous OP below. Remember, the
mother's mother is the grandmother, not the daughter.
>>> Someone the other day asked if I still miss my mother, which I said I

From the older generation, being loving and close was a luxury. To be
scolded (and maybe beaten with the birch) was to be noticed. For many,
a hug from that time was something that kids would envy as they heard of
child Nazi's getting from their parents. You had one toy to play with
on Sunday and were not to speak a word.
Would you miss a grandparent that much, assuming that they were of that
type and not the maverick Grandparents who had lived by "listen to your
children and grandchildren as they are a gift from God and the result of
love" ?

On the other hand, I think about how upset my parents would
have been by 9/11 and its aftermath. And my sister and I
just talked about how distraught our mother would have been
dealing with our recent illnesses. It's far better that
she'll never know.

I totally agree. I've always been sad when someone whose work I
really enjoyed and respected a lot dies young, but for some reason
Heath's death is hitting me harder than others. Two things are making
me feel a little bit better about it - Ennis is finally in heaven with
Jack Twist and Heath will always be a guardian angel for his beautiful
daughter and will always be with her, something he couldn't do in
life. The first one might be a little wierd, but so what? :)

I don't really "miss" celebrities unless I knew them. There are some whom I
would have liked to see or hear more of, but I don't miss people I never
met.
I do, however, miss my daughter, my grandmother, many friends ... and Maggie
Funk, who was one of many art teachers I had. She was a Lesbian-American
... and she was the best.

A couple years ago when I was working out in the gym with some older women,
we were talking about old movies and such. I mentioned how I missed The Rat
Pack, and they were horrified! They reminded me that those men behaved
badly and treated women like pieces of meat. I had to do some digging to
remind myself why I liked The Rat Pack.
Anyway, FWIW, the January 2008 edition of Vanity Fair had a great article on
Angie Dickinson. I don't know what made me think of that except that she
was a "broad" much accepted in the aforementioned "pack".

For some reason I'm reminded of a National Lampoon with a letter supposedly
written by "Marlo Thomas, Lebanese Thespian"....r
Ellen S.
John Lennon
Steve Goodman
Laura Nyro
Gilda Radner
Robert Kennedy
but no matter where I am or what I'm doing, whenever I think of either of my
two dearly departed cats, I can't help but shed a few tears.

And so far I've been thinking, "Undecided.", but your response sparked one for
me....Stevie Ray Vaughan! Aside (far aside) from John Lennon, and maybe Jimi
Hendrix, he's a musician that I miss.

That neighbor (on topic) who complained once about my dog barking at 2 a.m. 20
years ago. (It was only one night, there wasn't really anything I could do
about, and he was really being an asshole. :-)

Peter Jennings. As much as I've settled in with Charles Gibson, the nightly
news just hasn't been the same without him. His death had enough of an
impact on me that I stopped smoking after he died.
And Alison Steele, a dj here in NYC at a time when music radio was still
interesting. That was the last time I heard Tangerine Dream over the air
waves.

Wow! Then some good came of his demise! :)
Peter Jennings was born and raised in Canada. On my trips to the US, people
sometimes would say that I had a "Peter Jennings accent", which is weird
since we canucks don't tend to think we have accents.

But you can still occasionally hear interviews with him on The Howard Stern
Show (usually on Fridays).

Oddly enough, I was going to mention Freddy Mercury when I posted I missed
Phil Hartman, too. I guess we miss the great voices, eh?

On that scale, Freddie isn't dead at all. His voice goes on.

It's not THAT sexy! ;-)
Anyway, this one is more fitting as the now-deceased singer, Luther
Vandross shows up in the video with his daughter.

I know that song, love it, and have the album. However. I would be very
shocked indeed to hear that Luther Vandross had a daughter ... ;).
Anyway, here's someone(s) I miss. I have this album too.
