RIP to a true All Star.

According to Rolling Stone, he died due to liver failure. I saw other reports that the liver failure was induced by his alcoholism. If you or someone you know has a drinking problem, please, seek help before it is too late!

Firing off a 21 bagel salute. Might blast a few loaves in honor of the food he hated so much.

I read somewhere he started drinking heavily after his 6 month old died from cancer. RIP

I guess he's no longer the dullest tool in the shed? Here's my fingers in a shape of an L on his forehead, in his honor.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost
