Snoop Dogg’s mom.

she herself isn’t a celeb but man I would love to hear her talk about Snoop’s young life and what it meant to her that he got out of the gang life by being one of the greatest rappers ever

Apparently Snoop was in a gang in LA unlike Ice Cube and Dre

We're you even alive for his trial?

I was at Baggaley Elementary. No idea why his verdict reading stuck with me.

I was 2-5 years old so technically alive but not practically so

Mort Sahl passed away at 96 today. He was a funny dude and ahead of his time.

Mort Sahl is to comedy as Chuck Berry is to rock and roll.

He's from Long Beach, but yes he was a Crip.

I remember being in elementary school when OJ's verdict was announced. Didn't seem like any adults were happy.

Michael Johnson, 33 year old son of Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson.

Michael Johnson was born with a progressive form of muscular dystrophy that caused respiratory issues and required the use of a ventilator. He was one of four adopted children of Ernie Johnson and his wife, Cheryl, who have six children in total.

In 1991, Johnson & his wife, Cheryl, rescued Michael, age 3, from a Romanian orphanage. Shortly after returning to the United States, he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy & given a timetable to only live into his late teen years.

Ernie & Cheryl cared for him & helped him live more than a decade more than what doctors gave. Johnson announced the news on social media.

I was 30 when that verdict came out.

And the verdict wasn't surprising.

I liked him. Need to find a copy of The Langoliers now.

He was really good in Blue Velvet. This too as a kid:

He was great in Quantum Leap

I saw Dean Stockwell at a convention 10 years ago. I never saw any actor look so depressed over having to sit there and get paid to sign autographs. Dude looked like someone had just told him his dog died every time I saw him.

Haha, the pic on Wikipedia is from what appears to be a convention in 2012, and he looks miserable.

Ha! For a lot of those celebs it's a pretty big fall from grace. I get that. Still, milking fans for $40 per autograph and having to make small talk for 30 seconds while they tell you how much they admire you isn't a terrible gig.

Posted: **Tue Nov 09, 2021 1:22 pm**

It isn't a terrible gig unless you have to do it.

Here's to Ben!
