I don't get sentimental when people I have never met die.

Just to clarify, there are exceptions to this. I do get sentimental when kids die in a school shooting or people in gaza are starving to death or when a texas flood kills hundreds of people or when a tsunami wipes out hundreds of thousands etc. There are many times when people I have never met die and it saddens me greatly.

Just not when old celebrities die cause they are old. That doesn't make me sad.

Yeah his son is a POS. Even after this he still got a DUI a year or so ago. And there is body cam footage of the Hulkster showing up to meet with cops and bail his dumb *** son out who can only tell the cops that he is his son.

Anyways yeah Hogan was pretty big back in the day, perhaps the best example I can think of him randomly showing up in the Gremlins sequel. It was one of those scenes that if you saw as a kid you'll forever remember it.

To be fair this happens with tons of kids who grow up rich and being told that having money means you can do whatever you want. You know like grab women by the *****. It's such a bad way to grow up for so many kids of celebrities and the rich in general. So when you can have whatever you want whenever you want it, how do you get the next dopamine hit? It's never long before alcohol and drugs come into play. And frankly I blame the parents and what they are giving and teaching their kids.

Don't get me wrong, he is still a piece of **** and he owns his behavior, but it took a ****ed up family dynamic to get him there.

I think for most people this is more of an extension of nostalgia than any kind of actual grieving.
 
Tom Lehrer's work was some of the small amount of non-classical or religious music my Dad owned.

Also, he claimed to have invented the modern jello shot as a way to sneak booze onto the Navy base he was stationed at.
