Ed McMahon

Ed McMahon just passed.

Strange life he had. His show Star Search was the original American Idol, yet people remember him more for standing in the shadow of Carson, giving out over-sized cheques and something like nine marriages and a bunch of lawsuits. He died flat broke, but I have a hard time imagining that when you're staring eternity in the face you're seriously worried about how much dough you got tucked away. It might even feel stupid to die rich.

Got to imagine he'd be a fun guy to have drank with and I bet he heard a lot of fucked up stories. Back when the men were men they used to do all kinds of weird shit, not like the castrated metrosexual fuckfaces we've become today.
