Damn. RIP. His movies were a big part of my childhood/adolescence.

Camp Anawanna is raising some kid's underwear at half-mast, as Kirk Bailey, who some 90's kids would best know as Kevin "Ug" Lee in Salute Your Shorts, has died of lung cancer (Transformers fans would know him as the voice of Brawn in Bumblebee).

Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our heart.

And now, I just heard that yesterday, Emilio Delgado died of lung cancer. Anyone who grew up watching Sesame Street (we know you did, don't try to pretend you didn't) in the 80's and 90's (and even the 70's, if we have members as kids at that time) will remember him as Luis, the Fix-It Shop owner.

Ouch. Another wrestling legend lost. I hope he rests in peace.

 

[The Predaking]

Man that sucks. His work in the NWO was epic, and every wrester said he was a great wrestler that knew the business better than anyone. Scott Hall is the one that came up the Sting's Crow gimmick, in case you hadn't heard.


RIP sir.

[Donocropolis]

Very sad to hear. I was a teenager in the 90's, so the Foo Fighters were a big deal to me. A Foo Fighters/Red Hot Chili Peppers show when they were touring for The Colour and the Shape was my first "big" concert I ever went to, and it's still one of my favorite albums. 50 is way too young.

 

[spikeriley]

I am a fan of the Foo Fighters, and it's sad what happened to Taylor, as we lost a great hero in the battle against the evil forces of Foo.
