We're talking talented entertainers here though.

sorry, but Winehouse is pretty freaking talented regardless of how your tastes lean. The world has had plenty of meth-smoking, crack-whore artists that squander their extreme talents on addictions and lunacy. their personal life doesn't change the fact that they are indeed talented.

Ever heard of Van Gogh? opium-smoking, absinthe-binging lunatic with a paintbrush. And he really only produced his major works for the last 3 years of his life, in only a ~15-year career.

fixed for you.

For me, this is one of the most "personal" of all the celeb deaths this year. I've been listening to Ike for 40 years, and met him twice in the 70's. What a great man he was...never forgot where he came from.

RIP Isaac.

Holy crap, first bernie mac, now Isaac hayes? Who's the 3rd going to be? :(

I think it was supposed to be Morgan Freeman, but death took one look at him and was like, "naw, man". Has anyone checked on Bill Cosby recently?

Got any more famous black men you'd like to point out? :roll:

There have been a LOT of celebrities go this year. I don't know if the number is really any larger than any other year, but it SEEMS like it.

Not sure what your issue is. I named two people, which apparently combined with the other two people is about all the famous black men you're aware of. Now, let's consider why I chose those two. Hmm, maybe Morgan Freeman was in the news recently for some reason, possibly potentially life-threatening? I wonder what all of the people I mentioned have in common? Well, they're "famous black men" as so astutely pointed out by you. Hmm, and whaddya know, they're all also well known entertainers. Of course, there's no possible reason that I'd be mentioning a third possible death of a person that had similarities with the other two. Its not like there's any well known axiom about deaths and the number three or anything. :roll:
