Noory had planned to do a c2c show on Dark Shadows that night too, but he took the night off instead.
A coincidence?

I remember hearing recordings of this guy's pirate broadcasts on the Opie and Anthony show several years ago. They even got him on for an interview.

Junior Seau's death came with 'zero warning'

"I don't understand who (did) this to my son," said his distraught mother, Luisa, who wept outside his home as she was comforted by well-wishers.

         Shocking that a guy who tried to kill himself in 2010 by driving off a cliff...would try suicide again.

          Steroids+concussions = the NFL challenging WWF mortality rates.

I think the 94 superbowl was to traumatic for alot of the players on the Chargers that year. Given how many have died since then. Thats a game that probably should of never been played. Everyone knew what the outcome was going to be before they even kicked it off.

It's surprising to me how many people here in San Diego forgot about Seau's cliff incident.  I wasn't all that surprised by the sad news.

The Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch, best known the world over as the thoughtful, witty, in-your-face rapper MCA, has died, according to Rolling Stone and the hip-hop website Global Grind, which is run by Russell Simmons. Yauch, who had been battling cancer for the last three years, was part of a trio of New York rappers whose music starting in the 1980s transformed the budding genre and helped take hip-hop nationwide.

    Ha!...I was taking the high road for a change.
       I'll respect the departed by keeping my opinion(three guesses) to myself for once. I owned "Licensed To Ill" in 1987 when I was 11... got rid of said tape by 1988, though.
 
         When I heard the news I wasn't sure which one he was. I deduced he wasn't "Screech's brother"(Mike D) then I narrowed it down to the sickly,bearded one and the skinny one who was in that "Lost Angels" movie in 1989.

I think MCA had the best voice for rap... Mike D has that outragous crazy drunk white-boy thing going on but MCA had that gravelly rough sound... he will be missed

i saw the following on yauch's wikipedia entry:

Yauch became a vegan under the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.

with that, it all became clear to me.  vegans look sickly and vulnerable to me.

I think I will stick with a big bacon wapped sirloin steak with my baked potato.
and stay away from tibetian quacks.

I remember a grade school project where we had to form groups and do a "music video," (stand in front of the class and act like idiots while a song was playing) and a guy in our group (the class clown) somehow talked the teacher into letting us do a beastie boys song.  This was at a catholic school, no less.  My social anxiety hadn't yet gone into overdrive during those years, otherwise I'd have been scarred for life.

Tibetan health care is like ... world renowned and shit

I went to the free tibet two-day concert. Herbie Hancock played during an electrical storm. The line up was nice, included B boys of course. I also saw REM, Radiohead, and Billy Idol.... I forgot about Yauch's Tibet fascination.

[bluth co.]

Hi. i'm new. actually registered like a year ago but this is my first ever post, so, hello.

Like Mexican health care?

[Marc.Knight]

Like Mexican health care?

The Chinese system is the most efficient.  They have thousands of incarcerated organ "donors" on standby.  And, if they still can't make your illness go away after replacing half your organs with stolen ones, then you go away, in the middle of the night.

You just reminded me of why I did so poorly in grade school...it was forced fraternization idiocy projects like that. The term "doesn't work well with others" is my epitaph.
