I know SOMEWHERE there is a FReeper that would want to rain on this parade, but I find it to be a kind and poignant tribute to a cultural icon.
Ms. Fisher fought demons her whole life and overall did better than not and had an impact as both Leia and as an author.
RIP and I wish I could watch this in person.
Cultural icon? Only someone vapid and hopelessly stupid would seek inspiration and guidance from a drug addicted, alcoholic “celebrity”. Celebrity worship is a sign of cultural decadence. This impaired woman was famous largely for pretending to be other people.

Thanks for being “that person.” I knew you were out there somewhere.
If you hurry, you can get to New Orleans and join the parade. Suspect it will be a life altering experience for you.

Sounds like fun but I can’t make it.
That didn’t take long.
FWIW, allendale, she was also famous for trying real hard to overcome her inner demons, and for her kindness to others.
Maybe some of us could take a cue, and try to pretend as much.
Just sayin’.
Oh well. Never know when an opportunity like that will happen again. Just the same. Happy New Year! (Unless of course you are on some sort of galactic timetable)
I had a young college student in my class named Princess Leia (last name withheld). Not sure what the parents were thinking here.
Take a good ,hard look at your life if you are really emotionally distraught over the death of Carrie Fisher.
Yep. There is always that person. So many also claim the name of Christ...yet show the compassion of the devil
Happy New Year as well, FRiend. My sig says it all, I hope.
We intergalactic types celebrate both terrestrial and intergalactic new years’.
:)
People who idolize and look to celebrities for inspiration are neo pagan devil worshipers.
I rarely venture into New Orleans anymore but I might make an exception. I’m sure this will be a blast!
Can anyone tell me what is meant by the term “second line”?
“Cultural icon? Only someone vapid and hopelessly stupid would seek inspiration and guidance from a drug addicted, alcoholic “celebrity”.”
And it took two post for that clown to post.
Dont worry, when some old drug addicted country music star dies, we will just remind people in FR to not get all weepy, and say anything good about them.
Or ANYONE that wasn’t as perfect as you are.
Swear to Christ some of you need to get a life
