I never understand why celebrities get a pass. If they OD or commit suicide everyone is just gushing about what a tragedy it is and how the world will never be the same without them. How about taking the opportunity to talk about how the guy should have done what it takes to control his addictive urges? What about trying to get through to the next addict who is about to OD?

You have a job that demands and insists you treat all humanity the same. The majority of us do not contain that compassion so its easy for us to see a talented person and want to think that their goods translate and transcend...they hardly ever do but we need them to because I think it helps us hope that there really is purity in the world when we all know there isn't...
