Sorry You Died Guys

I hate it when I discover an entertainer I really like and discover that they are dead.

This has happened to me twice this year.

The first is a comedian by the name of Mitch Hedberg. He is a very funny dude that I started hearing on Raw Dog satellite radio. So I Googled him and found out he died in 2005.

So much for any new material but he left me an abundance of funny stuff to keep me busy for a long time. Thank you Mitch.

The second entertainer is a musician named Stevie Ray Vaughn. Man can that guy play a guitar is an understatement.

I listen to Texas Flood and just melt into the blues.

Sorry guys…I didn’t appreciate you when you were alive.

Mitch Hedberg was a native Minnesotan. I had just become aware of him shortly before he died. Sad.

Me too I didn't hear him until I heard some comedy Mp3's right after he died. Funny dude.

Vaughn I did know about..his death was big news around here.

One of Mitch's best lines is "What does a sesame seed grow into? Nobody ever gives it a chance.."

One of my favorite comedians.
You should also check out Mitch Fatel.

I was in college when SRV died, so I remember everyone playing some of his music to honor him on the day of his funeral. I admit I didn't really appreciate him that much until after his death either.
