Oddly enough, I was playing golf yesterday with an older fellow whop looked like a cross between two actors, Danny Aiello and Ned Beatty. I couldn't remember the latter, just mumbling to myself "he was in Superman, right? I'm sure he was in Superman..."

Even though people may say that celebs fight for causes the way Reeves did just to benefit their own situation, I feel good about them nonetheless (like Michael J. Fox).

Of course it was. I said the same myself. But that doesn't change the fact that he did get the ball rolling and help make things like stem cell research into a household topic.

People usually don't get involved in things until it somehow affects them personally. A shame, but that doesn't make Reeves any worse of a person than you or I who probably haven't been lobbying Congress directly for funding either.

I know Maddox was just trying to be oh-so-edgy and in your face since, well, that's what he does to make people come to his site, but...

Dumbass.

What's really funny is that a certain reputable news service mistakenly slapped up an obit for Sharon Osbourne instead of Christopher Reeve in their haste to scoop the story. They fixed it within an hour or so.

Must be a bit creepy to read your own obit.

That's waht happens when you play Superman.

isn't there a curse that comes with that job?
Is like the people who play Jesus... they die or are caught with hookers and shamed....



It does give me some saddness though..... I recently listened to an interview with him. Very strong soul. Such strenth of heart and determination....

and he's Superman!!.... I've looked up to him since I was a kid....

It's called getting old, no stopping it. I'm sure Totem cried when Roy Rogers died. And Colonel Sanders.

Good old Woody Hearn has done his part:

Dave Swarbrick (Long time fiddle-player with 'Fairport Convention') was seriously in Hospital a few years ago, but The Daily Telegraph jumped the gun and published his obituary.

He made a full recovery, and now sells autographed obituaries to raise money for the hospital that saved him.
