Who is your dream girl/guy?

[HairOfTheDog]

HoTD, I was deeply affected by John Lennon's death. It was like the death of a personal friend. I was still a young teenager and my parents knew me enough to know how deeply this had affected me. Obviously crying, sad and a very heart wrenching time. At the time I was grounded for being caught skipping school to go to a KISS concert, all punishments were immediately removed because of this catastrophic event. Some days I still am haunted by that day.

I understand. It seriously knocked me on my ass when John Bonham died.

I cried that day at school when we heard the news, cried that night too. And, I played Good Times, Bad Times, Out on the Tiles, Moby Dick, and Fool in the Rain over and over on the turn table.

My dad liked Led Zeppelin, too. But, after a couple of hours, he told me to give it a damned rest and that he wasn't gonna take me to buy another new needle if I wore that one out. And, he informed me that he'd already told my mom that under no circumstances could I stay home from school due to Bonzo "mourning" sickness (she always said "meh, stay home").

So, I got over it after a couple of days and learned not to let the death of beloved influential entertainers hold me back.

Until...Gary Coleman passed away. That one still gets to me.
