Thoughts on Artie Lange
I really thought I'd posted something on this but Jim pointed out that I didn't. For those who don't know, on Jan 3rd, Artie was rushed to the hospital after an apparent suicide attempt. Even though I don't listen to Howard anymore, I still keep up with Artie, because he and Jim Norton are two of my favorite comedians ever. Comedians are so funny because much of their material comes from a deep dark place. Mitch Hedberg, Richard Jenne, and the list goes on and on are just a few of the best who've left us way too soon and dealt with personal demons which they eventually succumbed to. I wish the best for Artie and I hope he makes it past the demons inside. Being an addict myself (at least Cigarettes) helps me to understand how hard it is to break that cycle, so I can't imagine being addicted to heroin and other substances. Good luck Artie, I hope things are better soon, and I'll be picking up your new DVD when it comes out later this year.
