This one hits hard. I know there's been some confusion over the years, about whether he had BP or not. And I agree it doesn't really matter. For me it's like what TheatreKid says…. feeling a kinship. To watch him in action was…. well, you get caught up in it. It feels manic. It feels familiar, even just to hear. I'd always admire that someone could tell jokes as fast as I could hear them. And had a suspicion that there were a whole lot of people who really couldn't keep up taking it all in. It felt almost like a special power to be able to do so. Maybe that's a little boastful or something, but it's hard to not entertain this notion. Like somehow we can get more out of it than your average bear. Yeah, a kinship.

There's not much in the celebrity world that I even pay attention to, let alone get caught up, but this….. this is different. I went straight to Snopes hoping it wasn't true. Was choking up relating it to BF. Just sat and cried and cried. Ack. Starting again. It just plain sucks.
