Although this happened two weeks ago, I didn't find out about it until just now, and I think it should be mentioned.

RIP.

I bet Rush Limbaugh's saddened by this too, as I think Monster Mash is his favorite song.

And dang, only 69? Why is it that famous people seem to die so young compared to average joes?

I've always thought they usually live longer. But yeah, 69 is young and I remember listening to Monster Mash one time when I was a kid, we were going down the road and I was laying across the back dash of my Dad's car, times sure have changed a lot.

I've always thought they usually live about the same length as the rest of us, provided drugs are not involved.

Ferris, your dad was a cop and he let you lie across the back dashbord without a seat belt?? My faith in law enforcment is shattered!!

Rest In Peace, Bobby "Boris" Pickett.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Pickett also wrote and performed "Stardrek" with Peter Ferrara which was a staple on the Dr. Demento show for many years. I don't know if you guys are nerdy enough to have heard that one.
