nah, sometimes I hear it first from Frosty, but I heard about Manson and Cassidy through TMZ. Sometimes it helps to follow People on facebook, but I'm seriously thinking about unfollowing it

Rest in Peace Malcolm Young...

 

 

I've always found this thread strangely morbid. Do we really need a thread dedicated to people dying rather than just posting randomly?

Worthy thread.  We were posting notable deaths in random news I think or their own thread.  Keeps it all together.  Plus, the Oscars does it, so why not MBB? lol

The only thing I question is in a thread like this if you want to pay a tribute to a fallen celeb, athlete or musician then it's hard to do. I've seen videos deleted for musicians & bands because it seems to  be judged as inappropriate for some reason. I put up a video for Malcolm Young as I'm a AC/DC fan. Hopefully, it's not taken down.

Well it's official David Cassidy is gone

I never really saw that many episodes, I still remember when Much More Music used to air it 15 years ago (they picked up the Monkees as well). However we'll always have THIS memorable cameo

For the best in this case. David Cassidy won't be suffering anymore.

I agree somewhat here... I feel this thread should be reserved for legit Celebs... Im not sure who 70 percent of the ppl on here are.

I'd like to think that if a celeb we truly liked is mentioned here that we can pay tribute to them as well. 

Aww David Cassidy. Fun show and good singer. I love “I Think i Love You”

Had to put this gem up:

 

 

I loved the Partridge Family and had every album they put out. David Cassidy was my first crush. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP 

My sort of indirect Cassidy story is that I never watched the show when I was a kid.  I saw it on a couple of times as my older brother watched it but I never got the idea of a family going around in a bus and singing.  Years later, I worked at Boogie Nights bar and they often played "I Think I Love You" and I remember asking the DJ what it was because it was so darn catchy.  I then started dating a girl that also worked there and I had to break the news to her one day that "I Think I love You" was our song.  She thought it was great!

It was also used in Scream 3 when the male lead sang it to Sidney to try and win her back.

Also they better play this song at the Boogie Knights reunion this Friday!

So because you haven't heard of them means they aren't celebrities.

Those are the best ones to be posted on here...  I'd rather read about the under the radar celebs who pass away rather then the bigger stars for which I would then see plastered everyone on the net and on the news.
