Dude, something weird went on with him the last 10 years of his life. I believe we will find out the people who took care of him took control of him too. Just that's the way it felt. He recently came out and said no and he's fine but I can't wait to hear all the details about the end of his life, if we will ever find out. Who did he leave his money to? The people taking care of him?

But also, his recent coming out of hiding might be because he knew he was dying and wanted to say goodbye without telling us he was terminal.

He seemed like a genuinely good person.

Guy tried making the world around himself a better place -- unlike people like Trump.

Too bad. He seemed like a nice guy.
He was part of one of the most truly funny moments on live television.

Kind of sad that his death has been pushed off the radar by other breaking news

Ambiguous.
He never publicly discussed his sexuality.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as I forgot to put RIP because of the Trump shooting.

Yeah well unfortunately for the time being this message board has basically turned into TSMB. (Trump shooting message board.)

Nice TDS tag there!

Agreed.

Instead of engaging in polemic politics....he encouraged a lot of people to overcome and he offered moral support.

He seemed like a very good guy.

Contributed nothing to society but pure pop. I guess that's good enough.

 

[August West]

Nice TDS tag there!

Screaming TDS is still the only way to defend that person.

He made people a lot of people feel good about themselves and inspired people to make positive lifestyle/health changes.

Thats more than a lot of us will ever contribute
