The class warfare in “Richard Cory” comes screaming out in the final verse.

Anyway, this Vietnam vet loved “Good Morning, Vietnam!”

FWIW

His performance in Good Will Hunting was outstanding, earning him a well-deserved Oscar. Politics aside, he was not an awful actor.

So many comedians seem to struggle with depression, addiction and suicide. I wasn’t a fan of Robin Williams’ act, but he brought a lot of entertainment and humor to millions of people. What a pity that he wasn’t able to find a better answer.

“Its soooo easy to sum up a person ‘s failings as their whole being. And depression is an illness.”

Drug-induced ‘illness’.

Some lines from his early days when he was doing standup:

“What do chairs think about all day...here comes another a$$hole, Cocaine is God’s way of telling you you make to much money,Let’s put Mr.hamster in the microwave...pop goes the weasel!

Actually Good Morning Vietnam all his lines on the radio were improvised. They basically said “Go for it”. And he did.

Clinical Depression is certainly not drug induced.

"So sad. A permanent solution to a temporary problem. May he rest in peace."

Ditto.

Hope he finished filming his scenes for the latest "Night at the Museum" movie.

Never did a drug in my life. Stopped drinking years before any depression showed up.

If you haven’t been there, please don’t make generalizations.

“Clinical Depression is certainly not drug induced.”

Drug induced depression Is DRUG INDUCED.

RW attributed his depression to his use of drugs. Please do your research.
