Shocking news about Kevin DuBrow
Show of hands; who was surprised to learn Kevin DuBrow’s death was due to cocaine overdose?
Supplementary question; which is worse, aging rocker with a coke habit, or aging rocker wearing wigs that have more hair than his real head did when he was famous?
By the way, I love Kevin, and QR, so I’m not exactly happy he died or anything. I’m just saying, what a surprise (he said, tinged with sarcasm) and that it’s kind of sad to maintain a coke habit long after the rock star life has left you. And dead or alive, those wigs needed mocking. So now that I have certified a seat on the express bus to hell....

Surprised? Not so much.
Disappointed? Yes.
The wigs deserve full and complete mocking. The one he wore on VH1’s Heavy Metal series was ridiculous.

I think it all boiled down to a case of “oh, that would never happen to me...”. He had to have known the numerous cases of accidental overdose, even among the rich and famous, yet thinks that he’ll never be that stupid. (Or “unlucky”, if you would prefer a kinder adjective.)
I believe that adulthood actually arrives at the same time as knowledge of one’s own mortality - until you have accepted, deep down, that you WILL die someday, you’re still just a child. The “Wow, this hill looks a LOT steeper from up here” moment.
It seems that young Kevin never grew up.

I think you are spot on. I think that while I refuse to grow up in some aspects, that mortality realization is a turning point and marks the time I started letting go of a lot of childish behaviors.
I’ll still fight the end kicking and screaming...I just accept that it is inevitable. Like taxes...or Oprah.

So what am I supposed to do with my carry-on now? It won’t fit into the overhead with all those antlers like that, y’know…
