I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2.

Rest in Peace Billy. Now I have "Golden Slumbers" stuck in my head.

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me
Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You gotta have somethin'
If you wanna be with me

Very sad - loved this song.

"Nothin' from Nothin' is Nothin'"

I loved him...so sad! Who else could make that line work so well.

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

I just saw this on the CNN site!

"Will It Go Round In Circles" just played on my "oldies" station...(I HATE that the kind of music I enjoy is considered "oldies"...)

Rest in Peace, Billy!

Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

Such sad news.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

I thought that may have been the case, but it didn't seem right.
