Shit this news is a few months old but just stumbled upon it online.  Most people probably have no idea who this guy was, but Matt Odietus, guitar player for the Candy Snatchers dies at 40.
 
 Had not seen him for a few years but was buddies with those guys when I lived in Richmond in the early 90's, and we've crossed paths from time to time over the years here and there.  Great band if it's your thing.
 
 Sad news.  
  RIP Matt

 A man after my own true free spirit. He will be missed.          

Very sad. This man was a hero, whose opinions were unique and refreshing when compared to all the sheep around him. [/b]

DAMN how in the living hell did I miss this?  I really hope that he does not fade into oblivion in future generations.  What an amazing human being this man was.

Don LaFontaine, the voiceover king whose "In a world ..." phrase on movie trailers was much copied -- and much parodied -- has died, according to media reports. He was 68.

 That's a bummer. I tried a couple times to read Infinite Jest and could never get more than a few hundred pages into it. But his short stories were great.

Damn, didn't think to check this thread first...but really, the guy deserves his own thread.

Bummer? Suicide is a selfish act.

Judging people who lose a battle with depression is a selfish act.
