Cory Rooney: I reached out to ODB and he wanted $15,000 to rap on the record. At the time, that was a lot of money, but it really wasn't for Mariah Carey's budget -- so, no problem. He finally showed up, three hours late, and when he got there, it was about 10:30 at night. He had been drinking, and was on the phone when he walked in. Irate, screaming at some girl how he's gonna come kill her, he's going to kick her ass...and then whispering, “I love you.” Then screaming again. This went on for an hour.http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7272606/mariah-carey-songs-collaborations-history-stories
He finally came out and was like, “Yo, pardon me, this bytch is driving me crazy. I need some Moet and Newports before we get into this record.” I said, “It's 12:30 at night now bro, I don't know where we’re going to get Moet from.” He started yelling at the assistants, calling them white devils, saying, “You white devils, y'all don't want black people to have shyt.” They went out for like an hour, and the only thing they could find were some Heinekens. He was so disgusted, he threw a bottle on the floor.
At this point Mariah had been calling every hour on the hour, wanting to hear something over the phone. Tommy was pissed because Mariah was keeping him up, so he finally got on the phone with ODB -- and after that, finally we started to record. He said one line -- "me and Mariah, go back like babies with pacifiers" -- then paused, said, “Yo, I need to take a break,” and went to sleep for 45 minutes. He woke up and was like, “Yo, let me hear what I did so far.” We played his one line back, he sang another line or two, and then slept for another hour. He would come up with a line, punch that in, go to sleep. He went to sleep 3 different times in the middle of trying to get that one verse done. If you listen to the record now, on his verse, you can hear that it’s punched in in pieces. He actually told the engineer, “Y'all better have your shyt set and record it right, cause I'm not doing it twice.”
I stayed in the studio until we finished it. So I was sleeping in the studio when Tommy and Mariah called me, and said they loved the record. But Tommy had a bright idea: let's get ODB back in the studio, and instead of just, “New York in the house,” do [a line] for every city. I said, “You’ve got to be kidding.” Of course [ODB] wanted another $15,000. He came back to the studio, a little more mellow but dead tired. He's sitting there picking food out of his teeth -- he pulled a piece of food out of his mouth so big it was scary. I was like, “How long did you walk around with that food in your mouth?” Like, it was unbelievable. Then he fell asleep on couch, kicked one shoe off. His foot smelled so bad, we had to let him sleep and leave the control room. Eventually, we got the other parts done and that was that. I thought the story was over.
A week later, it was time to shoot a video. We reached out to him, and he wanted another $15,000 dollars. No problem. So I sent a car to his house and he drank every friggin’ thing in the limo, showed up at Rye Playland [in New York], and went to his trailer. I had asked him, “Do you need the stylist to buy clothes for you?” He said, “Nah, this is hip-hop -- I'm just rocking some jeans and Timbs.” [That day], he was in the trailer, in and out of consciousness, when I said, “We're getting ready to do a scene.” He said, “I don't got no clothes, how am I going to do a video if I ain’t got nothing to wear?” I started screaming at him.
Tommy told us take my corporate credit card to the mall. ODB disappeared for a minute, and we found him in a store trying to buy Louis Vuitton luggage. He said, “I'm going to use it for a scene.” He came back [to the set] with all these bags of Tommy Hilfiger clothes and Timberlands.
It was finally time for him to do his scene, and I promise you, he put on a pair of jeans and Timbs, and said, “I'm not going to wear a shirt, I don't need no clothes.” I wanted to shoot him. He was like, “I have an idea -- I want to tie up the clown.” Plus, Mariah turned him on to peach schnapps, which she used to always drink. He drank like two bottles of that. So between the hot sun and him drinking two bottles, what a disastrous day that was. The video was a miracle, a real miracle.

Woke up this morning, and a really cool friend had died. He was in a motorcycle accident a couple weeks ago, and we all expected that he'd pull through. I had only met in person one time at GDC, but was certain I'd see him again. According to my facebook feed, he knew every other game developer on the planet, and was considered one of the nicest. He was 41.wow sorry to hear that :(
So I have the same car that killed him, that sucks :-\Don't get caught between a Jeep and a hard place.

As reported by various sources, including rapper MC Chris and Adult Swim creative director Jason DeMarco, longtime Adult Swim animator and voice actor C. Martin Croker has died. Croker was best known for playing both Zorak and Moltar on Cartoon Network’s talk show spoof Space Ghost Coast To Coast—the series that essentially established the template for what would become Adult Swim. Details haven’t been released, but the tone of DeMarco and MC Chris’ posts suggest that Croker’s death was “sudden.” He was 54.

Astronaut John Glenn:(http://i.imgur.com/SkIJryC.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/SkIJryC)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38257445
His political opponent once accused him of never having a job. John Glen's response was epic:
"I spent 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I lived through two wars. I flew 149 missions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook, it was my life that was on the line.
You go with me as I did out to a veterans' hospital and look those men with their mangled bodies in the eye and tell them that they didn't hold a job. You go with me to any Gold Star mother and you look her in the eye and you tell her that her son did not hold a job. You go to Arlington National Cemetery — where I have more friends than I'd like to remember — and you think about this nation, and you tell me that those people didn't have a job.
I tell you, Howard Metzenbaum, you should be on your knees every day of your life thanking God that there were some men, some men, who held a job. And they required a dedication to purpose, a love of country, and a dedication to duty that was more important than life itself.
And their self-sacrifice is what has made this nation possible.
I have held a job, Howard."
Public workers usually get crapped on these days for never having a "real job". Hope this makes people think a little.
How he was depicted in The Right Stuff was amazing btw. By far my favorite parts of the film. :aahI hate to be that guy especially because I like the movie, but you should definitely read the book. It's Tom Wolfe at his absolute best (and John Glenn is the best character (besides Chuck Yeager).

John Hurt passed away from Cancer. :(
I liked him in V for Vendetta (of all movies). The movie was campy but he grounded it pretty well. As much as he could at least.His believable zealotry was believable. I love Jeremy Irons, but the dude could take some lessons from Hurt on how to chew scenery and keep it from going off into the paint.
Hurt was too good at being a part of the movie. For the longest time I'd see him in a movie, think he was great, and not realize he's the guy I thought was great in another movie.I bet he was a fucking trooper to work with, too. He seems like one of those guys who could be awesome without being an utter dickhead about it.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38900572I wish I would have known who he was before he died. Just watched this.

Ah man, this one stings.Yeah, the first place I remember seeing him was as Chet, in Weird Science. Dude was SO GOOD at getting you to hate him.
I'm sure he was pretty decent guy, but holy crap, did he ever play the best abrasive assholes of all time. He was just so good at it. And he could do salt of the earth and decent to the core as well as anybody. He was like if Henry Fonda actually acted like how Henry Fonda would behave.
I also would have liked to see him take another swing at directing a genre film. Haven't seen Frailty in ages, but there was a lot to like about it.
Shit man.
Stay safe, Chuck Norris.I watched Expendables 2 last night, and Chuck Norris made it out okay. No worries.

So apparently Chris Cornell might have killed himself. Last recording of him is adding a "My Time Of Dying" cover to Slaves & Bulldozers to end a set, so if true he essentially performed a suicide note. You can watch the performance here if you want:Aw, man... :(

Already there, friend.:-\
Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.
We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us. You have no moral right to rule us nor do you possess any methods of enforcement we have true reason to fear.
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions.
You have not engaged in our great and gathering conversation, nor did you create the wealth of our marketplaces. You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.
You claim there are problems among us that you need to solve. You use this claim as an excuse to invade our precincts. Many of these problems don't exist. Where there are real conflicts, where there are wrongs, we will identify them and address them by our means. We are forming our own Social Contract. This governance will arise according to the conditions of our world, not yours. Our world is different.
Cyberspace consists of transactions, relationships, and thought itself, arrayed like a standing wave in the web of our communications. Ours is a world that is both everywhere and nowhere, but it is not where bodies live.
We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.
We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.
Your legal concepts of property, expression, identity, movement, and context do not apply to us. They are all based on matter, and there is no matter here.
Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.
In the United States, you have today created a law, the Telecommunications Reform Act, which repudiates your own Constitution and insults the dreams of Jefferson, Washington, Mill, Madison, DeToqueville, and Brandeis. These dreams must now be born anew in us.
You are terrified of your own children, since they are natives in a world where you will always be immigrants. Because you fear them, you entrust your bureaucracies with the parental responsibilities you are too cowardly to confront yourselves. In our world, all the sentiments and expressions of humanity, from the debasing to the angelic, are parts of a seamless whole, the global conversation of bits. We cannot separate the air that chokes from the air upon which wings beat.
In China, Germany, France, Russia, Singapore, Italy and the United States, you are trying to ward off the virus of liberty by erecting guard posts at the frontiers of Cyberspace. These may keep out the contagion for a small time, but they will not work in a world that will soon be blanketed in bit-bearing media.
Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world. These laws would declare ideas to be another industrial product, no more noble than pig iron. In our world, whatever the human mind may create can be reproduced and distributed infinitely at no cost. The global conveyance of thought no longer requires your factories to accomplish.
These increasingly hostile and colonial measures place us in the same position as those previous lovers of freedom and self-determination who had to reject the authorities of distant, uninformed powers. We must declare our virtual selves immune to your sovereignty, even as we continue to consent to your rule over our bodies. We will spread ourselves across the Planet so that no one can arrest our thoughts.
We will create a civilization of the Mind in Cyberspace. May it be more humane and fair than the world your governments have made before.

February 8, 1996
Actor Reg E. Cathey, better known for his roles in the hit Netflix drama "House of Cards" and the HBO series "The Wire," has died.
His death was announced Friday night by David Simon, the creator of "The Wire," who paid tribute to the late 59-year-old actor on Twitter.
"Not only a fine, masterful actor -- but simply one of the most delightful human beings with whom I ever shared some long days on set," Simon wrote. "On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing."

I was sad to see it as well.
People love you. This internal battle must be fought. Know that you will be missed, and more than that, know that you'll hurt those you love. Struggle through it. Survive. This live is the one version of you that gets to influence those around you, and you are ALWAYS treasured more than you know.
My father killed himself, and the damage it did to his surviving loved ones was never part of his intent. Embrace the fact that you are loved. Know it, and learn how to continue.
You are, each and every one of you, a miracle. Worthy of love. Know it.
Bless up.
That's a really touching thing to say Chrono. Its something I struggle with constantly. I can see people love me, I know people love me, but I dont feel love or feel loved.Great posts, guys.
There's always hope for learning how to feel loved or finding love in ourselves, for ourselves.
The guy made it to 61. He inspired millions and made others happy while fighting this lifelong battle. He lived his own life, did what made him happy and didn't follow the safe way through it.that's the vibe of this video created by the producer for reason's videos, who was personally inspired by Bourdain:
He should be celebrated for that and not scorned or feel disappointment in his actions. He got to go out on his own terms instead of slowly falling apart.

He was a dirt bag from day one. His sincerity was misplaced. His appeal was only for those that hated anything Western European. He did not so much as relish the other cultures as he tried to use them as a battering ram against his because he despised his own.
He killed himself because he was full of self-loathing. His personal views of life were scummy.

This is so late, and few people on this forum will know who this is, but I just found out Terry Davis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_A._Davis) died in a train accident in August. The man was a legend in computing circles. Schizophrenic, autistic, and deeply religious, this guy worked on building an entire operating system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS) for twelve years because God told him it would be the Third Temple. Terry Davis frequently got himself banned from programming forums due to inexplicably hostile behavior, replete with (bizarrely out of place) racism and homophobia. His mental illness caused him numerous issues throughout his life and he was in and out of homelessness. He posted many, many videos online and had a small cult following, both out of mockery and admiration. Recently he took down his youtube videos to "stop littering the internet" and within hours he had been struck by a train while walking along the railroad. It is unclear whether it was a suicide or not.
Terry Davis' operating system Temple OS, despite being a product of insane delusions and an object of frequent mockery, was actually a technical feat and an inspired work. It resembles the homogeneous computing environments of Plan 9, Oberon, Genera, the various Smalltalk operating systems, etc. While not being the first to implement the ideas and principles those systems pioneered, it achieves them impressively well, and the fact that it was the work of just one person is amazing in its own right. For those interested, here is a more technical overview (http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/).
Terry Davis lived an eventful life and it is a tragedy that it ended so soon. RIP.

Obituaries
Ralph Whittington, erotica collector extraordinaire, dies at 74
Ralph Whittington worked at the Library of Congress for 36 years, rising from an entry-level clerk to become a curator in the main reading room of the library’s majestic building across from the U.S. Capitol.
He supervised the library’s collection of telephone books — “I was in charge of every phone book in the freaking world,” he said in 2002 — and also used his expertise as an archivist in his private life. Mr. Whittington had more than 5,000 early recordings of rhythm-and-blues and doo-wop music, but he was better known for amassing one of the world’s largest collections of pornography.
For years, he stored his trove — which included thousands of items, from 19th-century “bawdy house coins” to magazines, videotapes, photographs, dolls and devices — at his Clinton, Md., home, which he shared with his mother.
Mr. Whittington, who was 74, died at his home on Aug. 6. The cause was cardiovascular disease, said his son-in-law, Stephen Chittenden.
For Mr. Whittington, his collection was neither a hobby nor a shameful indulgence stored at the back of a closet. It was a serious academic undertaking; his interest was curatorial, not prurient.
Pornography is a multibillion-dollar industry and has been part of human history for millennia, but serious study of the subject has been haphazard at best. Mr. Whittington sought to fill that gap by keeping a systematic record of the artifacts that define the myriad desires of the human libido.
“I really enjoy this stuff,” he told the Washington City Paper in 1997. “I’m not like some guy who says, ‘I only read Playboy for the articles.’ I mean, I really do take a hands-on approach.”
On his business card, Mr. Whittington listed his occupation as “erotic archivist.” When discussing pornography, he did not apologize, stammer or blush. He documented his items with the same rigor that he used at the Library of Congress.
Everything was catalogued and cross-referenced. Boxes were carefully labeled with the name of a porn star or a thumbnail description of the infinite variety of carnal proclivities depicted in print or on film. Mr. Whittington noted 86 separate categories.
“The key is the diversity of the collection,” he told The Washington Post in 2002. “To be blunt, most people buy for their own gratification. But I would spend money on stuff I didn’t even like. I like high heels and big legs, but I collected everything — except gay porn and child porn.”
Mr. Whittington spent more than $100,000 on his collection and often accepted donations from heirs surprised by unexpected discoveries in the attic.
“About every six months I’ll get a call out of the blue,” he told the website gettingit.com in 2000. “Usually somebody’s uncle Charlie died and the family were going through his stuff and found his porno. They can’t put it in a rummage sale, and they know that I’m going to keep it.”
Mr. Whittington’s dedication to his field was comprehensive.
“I have bawdy house coins from whorehouses in the 1860s,” he told gettingit.com. “One coin says, ‘10 cents for lookie, 25 cents for feelie, 50 cents for doie.’ I have one film from 1913 called ‘Free Ride,’ which is supposed to be [the] oldest film they’ve found in the U.S.”
He had a copy of the first commercial sex videotape sold to the general public, a version of “Deep Throat” playable only on an obsolete Betamax machine. Mr. Whittington had a Betamax player, of course, but one piece of equipment he never owned was a computer. As a result, his expertise remained rooted in the era before magazines and videotapes gave way to the Internet.
In a short 1996 documentary, Washington filmmaker Jeff Krulik dubbed Mr. Whittington the “King of Porn” — a sobriquet he relished, but only up to a point. As an expert on the subject, Mr. Whittington had to admit that the title had previously been bestowed on actors John Holmes and Ron Jeremy.
May Whittington was philosophical about her son’s avocation. In a 1999 episode of Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show,” she contentedly crocheted on the couch as her son discussed his collection.
“It’s something he loves,” she told The Post in 2002. “You see men his age going to bars or on dope. But he’s home day and night. That gives me peace of mind. . . . He’s not doing anybody any harm, and he’s not doing himself any harm.”
Even after selling many of his materials in 1999, Mr. Whittington couldn’t stop acquiring, and his house began to fill up again. He didn’t allow anyone to borrow his artifacts, but he invited visiting scholars and the merely curious to view them from time to time.
“When people come here, at least I don’t bore them,” he said. “They may leave shaking their heads, but they’re not bored.”

“While I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, this needs to end. For many years, she has relentlessly and falsely attacked me and other members of my family to anyone who will listen,” Savage said. “By spreading numerous untrue stories about us in pursuit of a financial bonanza, she has tortured our entire family and estranged herself from all of us. I will fight this groundless and offensive lawsuit and work to put this to rest once and for all.”

Wearside Jack is the nickname given to John Samuel Humble (8 January 1956 – 30 July 2019), an Englishman who pretended to be the Yorkshire Ripper in a hoax audio recording and several letters in the period 1978–1979.[1]
Humble sent a taped message spoken in a Wearside accent and three letters, taunting the authorities for failing to catch him. The message, recorded on an audio cassette, caused the investigation to be moved away from the West Yorkshire area, home of the real killer, Peter Sutcliffe, and thereby helped to prolong his attacks on women and hindered his potential arrest for eighteen months.[2]
More than 25 years after the event, a fragment from one of Humble's envelopes was traced to him through DNA, and in 2006 Humble was sentenced to eight years in prison for perverting the course of justice.

First porn I got my hand on was a Hustler mag.
The first time I was in New York I brought my CD Walkman with me because I was SO COOL. I have no idea what music I brought with me, that doesn't matter. What matters is that I stopped off at Sam Goody and picked up a CD on a lark mostly because of the title: Happy Anniversary Charlie Brown. Big Peanuts fan, I am, and the music from Vince Guaraldi kinda shaped my musical tastes growing up.:heart
On that album is a version of 'The Great Pumpkin Waltz.' Everybody talks about 'Spain' by Chick Corea, but I think his version of 'The Great Pumpkin Waltz' is one of the perfect songs. Maybe it was the moment in time - a cool spring in NYC, a room high in a skyscraper facing its twin, a window fully opened about two inches, just enough to hear the sound of the city at night overtop of a three piece band playing perfection.
That moment really opened my mind to music.
Rest in peace, Chick Corea.

James W. Loewen, a sociologist and civil rights champion who took high school teachers and textbook publishers to task for distorting American history, particularly the struggle of Black people in the South, by oversimplifying their experience and omitting the ugly parts, died on Thursday in Bethesda, Md. He was 79.
His death, in a hospital, was confirmed by Ellen Adler, his publisher at the New Press, who said he died after an unspecified “long illness.”
“Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat the 11th grade,” Dr. Loewen wrote in “Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong” (1995), the best known of his dozen books attacking historical misconceptions.

Williams. In another criminal complaint unsealed today, co-conspirators HECTOR ROBLES, a/k/a “Oreja,” LUIS CRUZ, a/k/a “Mostro,” and CARLOS MACCI, a/k/a “Carlito,” were charged as members of the fentanyl and heroin conspiracy.

ROBLES, CRUZ, and MACCI were arrested yesterday and will be presented today in Manhattan federal court before United States Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “Michael K. Williams, a prominent actor and producer, tragically overdosed in his New York City apartment from fentanyl-laced heroin. Today, along with our law enforcement partners at the NYPD, we announce the arrests of members of a drug crew, including Irvin Cartagena, the man who we allege sold the deadly dose of drugs to Michael K. Williams. This is a public health crisis. And it has to stop. Deadly opioids like fentanyl and heroin don’t care about who you are or what you’ve accomplished. They just feed addiction and lead to tragedy. The Southern District of New York and our law enforcement partners will not give up. We will bring every tool to bear. And we will continue to hold accountable the dealers who push this poison, exploit addiction, and cause senseless death.”
Reitman died in his sleep at his home in Montecito, California on February 12, 2022, at the age of 75
Bob Beckel, a Democratic strategist and former co-host of "The Five," has died at age 73.
Beckel first joined Fox News in 2000 as a contributor providing political analysis and rejoined the network in 2011 as one of the original hosts of "The Five."
When "The Five" premiered in July 2011, it was only supposed to have a five-week run to temporarily fill the timeslot. Instead, the show stuck around and has become one of the highest-rated shows in all cable news.
Beckel was there during the inception of "The Five" with Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld, who still co-host the long-running program.
Only in America can a guy manage a presidential candidate to a forty-nine-state rout, then go on to be paid very well to dispense political advice on TV and in lecture halls. What a country!rip to a real one

Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him — his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him my spirits were elevated. Kevin was a brilliant actor. For several generations, he has been the definitive Batman. It was one of those perfect scenarios where they got the exact right guy for the exact right part, and the world was better for it. His rhythms and subtleties, tones and delivery — that all also helped inform my performance. He was the ideal partner — it was such a complementary creative experience. I couldn't have done it without him. He will always be my Batman.
Glad it wasn't suicide, they make fun of him pretty hard in the new Weird Al movie.

I hate how his last performance as Batman was enveloped in such shit. You deserved so much better and even more accolades and praise than you got, Kevin.
Raul Julia as Bison though... :delicious
What do you get when you kiss a girl?
You'll get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, she'll never phone ya

There was one who said unto me that the universe
was going to cause me to tremble,
That I am not the sharpest cutting implement in the storehouse.
She had the appearance unto me as a stupid one,
With her finger and her thumb
In the frame of a Greek gamma upon her forehead.
Behold, the years begin coming, and do not cease from coming.
Fed unto the axioms, and I fell upon the earth and ran.
It was not acceptable if not to live for the sake of pleasurable things.
Your brain increases its wisdom, but your heart
increases its stupidity.
A great amount to do, a great amount to see,
Therefore, there is no difficult problem if we take the streets of the backside.
You will not know if you do not go.
You will not shine if you do not glow.
Behold currently! You are entirely a star child!
Begin your power! Go! Laugh!
Behold currently! You are a master of the music!
Begin your singing! Acquire your wages!
All that sparkles is gold!
Comets alone shatter the frame!
Could I be any more dead?
Leiji Matsumoto didn't get a thread, either, and he was arguably much more influential for a longer period of time.
