He seemed to have a dream job. The dream life. Nothing is what it seems

[Psalm 73]

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

It always seemed to me that he was a bit of an angry liberal. Althogh he was a big fan of The Ramones, where are a big time conservative group and Johnny is known as “staunch supporter of the Republican Party.“

My first thought when I hear about the suicide of the rich, successful, and famous is usually "Richard Cory":

Richard Cory

We read the poem in jr high and leaves you with no answers.

“He seemed to have a dream job. The dream life. Nothing is what it seems”

This. See also, Kate Spade, who had just sold her business for $2 Billion. Money, fame, acclaim, power, romance, sex, drugs, hobbies— nothing ultimately satisfies. Only one thing can fill the hole in our souls.

That’s exactly what I thought

I mean he just killed himself in one of Frances coolest old hotels

I loved the 80s when I lived that life pre five kids....a different life

Bourdain had pretty but wacky girlfriend

Great travel experiences I envied

Thin...again I’m envious

Paid very well

You would think he’d bounce out of bed in mornings thinking lucky me

You just never know.....we watched him....my wife loved his show....I’m in Atlanta this was her first text bright and early

I just don’t know what would drive it

Yes his leftist libertarian sorta politics were insufferable but his show was not bad

I just turned sound down when he went hamfisted as he did on my home state

Liberals always think they are better than us and he had that

But what could have driven this
