Man! I&#8217;m only really familiar with him because Quadboy of the  long-gone <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20040606100719\/http:\/\/briworld.com\/quad\/\">Rants of a Madman <\/a>would frequently harp on about the rocker&#8217;s prowess;  the only song of his I&#8217;ve heard is Holy Diver, and even then my brother  chastises for listening to it rather than the Killswitch Engage cover <span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">(which for  the longest time I thought was called Kill, Switch &#8216;n&#8217; Gage, like some bizarre  rocker parody of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky Mick &amp; Titch, who are a band I also  thought were named differently, though I just thought Dave and Dee were two  different people)<\/span>. The dude&#8217;s dead! Man.<\/p>\n<p>And now I am informed  that two other people I am mildly familiar with but none the less respect have  passed on unexpectedly &#8211; Dennis Hopper and Gary Coleman! I&#8217;m sad to say I don&#8217;t  even properly know Gary Coleman, I&#8217;m only aware of him through that one  Christmas <em>Simpsons<\/em> episode and the poor guy being a cheap internet meme.  Dennis Hopper, well&#8230; the <em>Super Mario Bros.<\/em> movie. I was almost certain  he was in <em>Silence of the Lambs<\/em>, but apparently I&#8217;m wrong. Shit, what a way to go  &#8211; die before some half-wit from Northern Ireland sees your more highly acclaimed  media appearances. I&#8217;ve a feeling this Summer will be like a repeat of last  year.
