Awful. RIP..

Worldwide success, then death. I simply don't understand that.

by furriner Sat 21 Apr 2018, 22:07

I'm not ashamed to admit it, I've never been able to appreciate what DJs do that apparently gives some of them star status. I mean yeah, I sort of get what the job is about, but still....

RIP Mini Me.

Died after a short illness?

Yes, Shane Yarran was a good get.

I guess this person effectively became a celebrity.

If so, 117 years is now the world record time it has taken to become an overnight sensation.

by JGK Tue 24 Apr 2018, 08:34

I guess this counts as an u/30 opportunity:

Sad story.

Yeah, that was my first thought (would've been a good "get" - how sick is that??!!) when I read the story of his death on the news this morning. Cool
