Just the after-effects of Charlie Murphy beating his ass 25 years ago...

Only because Rick James was a "habitual line-stepper."

I wonder if Keith Richards is next...

Death fears Keith Richards. He'll be living in the Connecticut suburbs long after the rest of us are gone!

Or, a more appropriate name for their band:

Crappy, Old, Cirrhotic and Irrelevant.

Somehow I can see something like "Mr. James will not let his recent health difficulty keep him from performing for his fans..." then a concert a la "Weekend At Bernie's."

I don't want to laugh about people dying, but that was kinda funny.

It's slightly odd that they immediately say "natural causes" when he was found 2 hours ago. But either way, I hope he rests peacefully. He has young kids, too. :(

Coke is from the coca leaf, and therefore is natural.

LOL!

Rick James is dead...no word yet on the cause, other than general self-abuse...

"I wonder where you are
and I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?"

Saw him in concert once

And got to transcribe an hour interview of him and the rest of the Commodores while on my first job.

Damn! I was wondering where my shiny red patent leather boots went. Do you think I'll be able to get them back now?

By the way, Dave Chappelle is on the cover of this week's TV Guide.

Hardly.

Death is powerless against Keith Richards.

Keith Richards cannot be killed with conventional weapons.

Tariq Aziz:

That is what I told Saddam! But he insisted on launching an assault. I told him, this is not the Medina division of the Republican Guard. You will need a nuclear capability that we simply do not have. But did he listen? NO! Saddam does not listen. I tell you, I would have quit years ago had he not threatened to amputate my hands and beat me to a bloody pulp with the stumps of my wrists.

Well, entertainment people are a different breed -- and when they pass on "from natural causes" after a lifetime of drugs and booze, it is a little different.

"Round and Round" and "Serves You Right" are two of my favorites; and "Love Will Conquer All" is fabulous.

He seems like a standup guy.
