I had no idea who that was either. The thing about cutting his own throat is pretty gross. I feel bad for his family. Pretty selfish thing to do, all in all.

this is horrible.
it is terrible--i had an important crush on him in 10th grade, and was all excited about the new blood on SNL--those of us in highschool then needed people who weren't thirty or older to make us laugh--the original cast belonged to those people we babysat for--old boomers--they were so very tired and unfunny. Him and Denny Dillon and Mary Gross and Tim whats-his-name were really funny, and needed back then--the beginning of 12 very very long Reagan years. And, non-importantly, that whole valley girl thing started with that cast, and not with Moon Unit.

ok, i understand now--
what i meant to post, sorry
amber: you can but in cases of self stabbing like elliott smith, i asked a few experts as to if that was possible, as it was two stabs to the chest-- soon it was no longer considered suicide and i haven't kept up so i don't know what has happened there.
i did have a wonder if new england does something to add some lingering despair in people (having had to live there and having personal issues with the place as well as my still smarting spalding greys and blues and others and back on the phone--)
