Speaker 1

Michael Madsen, Ozzy Osborne, Hulk Hulgan, Malcolm Jamal Warner. Within the last week or so, we've a couple weeks we've been losing. There's a lot of people just go facey all. I mean people die of course, right, I don't know this this this go around. If you're a gen exer like I am, they're hitting very differently. I the two that hit me the most, and surprisingly Ozzie and macau Jamal Warner. Mine. Jamal was around my age, couple of years younger when he passed, when he drowned on vacation.

That's just sad right there. And you heard nothing while he was alive. You heard nothing bad about him ever ever, and from his death you do not hear anything bad with some of the others. Yeah, there are bad and good things of hold especially, but when Marjoe warned, it was all love. It's one of the few times in society and online it happens me once in a while where everybody comes together. And even with that complicated Cosby past,

because mostly that's Bill Cosby. The show is still known for being one of the best sitcoms ever released, and theo was one of the best characters on that sick he was I was older. She was the younger brother type friend like Todd Bridges was the big brother, always wanted theo was a younger on her in the family, so to speak. Because the College Show came out. I was fifteen when it came out, so I was older, and by time it is Heyday, I was already becoming

an adult. But I'm like all those kids. It really hit me how iconic the cosmic kids are. We all about filictery Seoan, how much you love her and all that, but like the kids, it feels like one of it feels like one of our family members got ripped from us way too soon. I really found myself really sad more than I you know, more than I thought I just, you know, of course, to be sad someone dies and it's my fingers, you know. But it just kind of like that was a really hit in the way that

was generational, say with Ozzie. I mean, I grew up with this, you know, Black Sabbath. Of course, I spent the eighties him by batch off heads and things and you know, all stuff, But it's the Prince of darkness for me. It was his duet with Leada Ford close your eyes Forever. That duet was the top ten duet kids. It showed us Ozzie in a way that you never saw for a soft ballad that was about love and love lost and and stuff. It was. It was. It

was magical. I mean Leada's voices just and then you hear the story how he wrote it together, and it was all night. It was just and of course the OSWA was last stuff later. But it's just kind of like Ozzie. It's it's tough when our people we grew up with and watch an aid. Myre past for me was fair Fawcett and Michael Jackson, Prince There and Bowie Tuesday in summers. You know, I just there's images that you just are so used to. When they're gone, you're like, really,

they're gone. And that's something. If you're fifty plus, you're deal with it. You get older because a lot of your childhood heroes and fan favorites either they're older than you are when you fall in love with them, where they' around your age, they start to go and just way, he's sad, and I just want to address this. I've for people. Some people will say, well, you know, how are you sad about somebody you've never met. I'm learning this as a person who does this for loving myself.

There are people who do connect to your spirit through your work, and that's meaningful. That means you're doing something that brings them joy or peace or a respite from real life. They enjoy your work, they fall in love with that. You don't have to know them personally to fall in love with their work or how they are. And I feel like that's what you're borning. You're more in the loss of that feeling. You're more the loss that you won't get anything new from them ever again,

Like this is it, and I think it's legit. I think it's okay. I think it's okay. It's more a loss of someone who you don't know. To me, it kind of explains that I have, you know, and some people they do end up just fan clubs and now cameos and we're online and stuff. So now sometimes you get to talk to them through online or dough fan events them you can make connection. I have connection with

made my lotties out there. I have connection with several of them, like personal connection because remember you know, and yes, it may seem strange to some people, but it's to me, it's legitimate and it's real. I ain't talking about the fanatical, crazy people. I'm talking about. What I'm talking about just average people who like someone's work. There you go. So it's just it's just it's just it is. It is

such a it's just such an interesting thing. But I am completely understanding of just feeling like parts of your childhood or a younger part era of your life that you just hold dear takes the hit when someone from that time period goes totally get it, totally get it. That's all I mean, that's that's I mean, I just that's I just recipes all of them. And you know, we notice is not the end. More gonna be going we all we all leave this life alive, so you

know more can be coming. But it's just it's there's these rumors about Phil Collins being in bad health. We speak again with another sad time from my time period. It's like, oh, you know, so yeah, life just marches on.
