R.I.P. Davy Jones (from The Monkeys)

[Guest EXPAT]

Davy Jones of The Monkees fame died in Florida this morning of a heart attack. I remember his music and more importantly his appearance on "The Brady Bunch".

Wow the local radio news did not even mention this or I totally missed it. Either way very sad to hear.

I've often disliked people who have so immediately stepped-up upon the death of another to only find a personal purpose for doing so..

That's just not me.

I just read that he was a health nut. Ran several miles a day, and was a strict vegetarian. Also its now being reported that the night prior to his death he went to the hospital with chest pains.

If I recall properly Maurice Gibbs had gone to the hospital with chest pains in FL as well and they botched things up. In fact I believe they were sued and the hospital paid a large settlement. And I thought health care in Las Vegas was poor.
