Needles & Grooves

Chris Farley. I was 11 and remember seeing the tabloids in target shopping with my Mom and finding out that way.

Freddie Mercury. And Lou Reed. But I was properly thrown and getting messages of sympathy from friends when Bowie died. It was like someone I personally knew had died, the impact he had on my life.

River Phoenix. He was so talented and beautiful, 15yo me was crushed, and I would cry over him randomly for the next 3 years.

probably john candy. he was in everything i loved as a kid. also, i'm still angry we lost phil hartman the way we did.

John Candy, Phil Hartman and Chris Farley are all very missed. 3 guys who made the World brighter.

Jonathan Brandis. I was very concerned for the welfare of his talking dolphin.

John Lennon. I was so young and it was so confusing. I hadn't been exposed to anything like that.
