What a complete shit week!! There's no other way to say it. So many lives lost in Las Vegas, that ones going to haunt me for a long time.
Then comes the news of Tom Petty passing away, which resulted in me listening to Petty's "Damn The Torpedoes" album over and over the next 3 days.
The finale slap in the face came today with the news that comedian Ralphie May died at 45. It's a strange thing when a comedian you admire passes away. Like a little more laughter has disappeared forever.
I've always thought Ralphie was not only very talented in the way he would write, but his whole character was made for the stage. I guess this one bothers me so much because I had personal interactions with Ralphie several times over the years. He was always very humble, engaging and never met a stranger.
I thought he was really on a roll lately with his comedy, it had become very human, natural and from a place of what seemed to be happiness. You'll be missed Mr. May, RIP.
For those of you that have never had the chance to laugh with Ralphie, do yourself a favor and spend some time with the guy. He's was a funny ass dude!!
