RIP, Aaron Carter
Man… I suppose his death was tragically inevitable really, wasn’t it? Maybe he’d have been able to turn things around given more time.
I know his behavior got pretty bad in his last years but I’ll always remember him as the cute blond kid whose poster I had in my bedroom.
RIP, Meat Loaf
He was in his seventies but it still feels like he’s gone way too soon. I was listening to Bat Out of Hell literally yesterday, here it is for you, amazing song.
(PS. He also had a memorable cameo in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, a film I ACTUALLY LOVE.)
RIP, Sidney Poitier
One of the most important figures in not just Hollywood history, but American history as well. What an incredible life he had.
I’m going to make it a New Year’s resolution to watch more of his movies.
RIP, Betty White
A couple of weeks ago I decided to bingewatch Golden Girls for the first time, so that’s how it turned out that I was hearing Betty White’s voice in the background while reading the news of her death. Man. Golden Girls was great and I absolutely adored Rose.
White didn’t make it to 2022 but she did get to totally disrupt all the “Notable deaths of 2021” lists in the media, and I have a feeling she’d have loved that. RIP, St Olaf’s favourite daughter.
She was also the greatest eater of hot dogs to ever walk the earth.
RIP, Anne Rice
Yeah, I disagreed with her views on fanfiction, who didn’t? But she seems to have been a genuinely good person.
I remember her being a figure of mockery among more grown-up fandom participants when I was a kid. I wish that hadn’t happened.
RIP Mike Nesmith
Is it wrong to be sad when someone dies after a long and successful life? No, I don’t think it is.

Oh man. I was literally just watching Friends the other night and wondering how he was doing. So, so sad. :(
