This is fucking sad. Way too young to die. I still listen to Violence and Skeletons quite often.

I live in NE, and that's all anyone is talking about. Dude had a 40 million dollar contact, and he threw it all away, and why? Because someone spilled a drink on him at a club?
Active Member
ALLEGEDLY.
Seriously though, I read that it could have been motivated by money because his being dead would mean there could be no civil suit and the money would be left for his daughter. Not sure how true that is.

Its funny that you listed two of my favorite movies, and tragically sad that he is no longer with us.

I've always had a soft spot for Married to the Mob. But Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia are part of movie history.
RIP Mr Demme. Thank you for making laugh, cry and for scaring the bejesus out of me. You'll be missed.

Stop Making Sense is a must-see as is Silence of the Lambs yet I prefer his smaller films like Something Wild, Storefront Hitchcock, and Rachel Getting Married.

Legendary musician dies on stage during birthday concert
WHEN Col. Bruce Hampton slowly fell to his knees during the finale of his star-studded birthday concert, fans and musicians alike thought it was another one of his quirky performance acts.
Fourteen-year-old guitar phenom Brandon “Taz” Niederauer tore into a blistering solo as the 70-year-old man lay motionless just feet away, his arm draped over a speaker.
For several more minutes, dozens of musicians — including John Popper of Blues Traveler, Warren Haynes of The Allman Brothers Band and John Bell of Widespread Panic — jammed away to one of Hampton’s favourite songs Turn On Your Love Light. The fans danced and the musicians smiled as they waited for him to get up.
But Col. Bruce never did.
The eccentric guitarist and singer known as the forefather of the jam band scene died after collapsing Monday night at the end of the show billed by Atlanta’s Fox Theatre as “Hampton 70: A Celebration of Col. Bruce Hampton.” He had turned 70 a day earlier.
“As I played tonight, I had a joy that I’ve never had ... But it was eerie,” banjo player the Rev. Jeff Mosier said in a tearful Facebook post. “And then at the end, Bruce looked like he was jokingly worshipping that young guitar player. And he got down on his knees and I was getting ready to do the same thing. ... I was lucky to know him and I was lucky to be there.”
Hampton founded several bands, and while wealth and fame eluded him, he was widely acknowledged as an influence on other leading musicians. He also played the role of a songwriting band manager in Billy Bob Thornton’s 1996 film Sling Blade.
Thornton joined Hampton on stage for the Love Light encore and beamed as Hampton belted out the first part of the tune with his bluesy growl. Hampton paced across the stage and teased the audience by pretending to leave before he re-emerged. Then he fell to his knees.
When people began to realise this was no stunt, the band abruptly ended the song and a hush fell over the crowd. Stunned fans looked at one another and asked, “What just happened?”
“We’re going to take care of business backstage here,” Thornton said. “Thank you so much. We love you so much. Thanks for honouring Bruce Hampton on his 70th.”
Outside, fans gathered on the street as an ambulance and firetruck arrived. Hampton was carried out of the theatre on a stretcher. People cheered when he was loaded into the ambulance and shouted “Brrruuuccccee” as they had done throughout the night.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the death to The Associated Press.
The Tedeschi Trucks Band, also on the line-up, posted a statement on its official Facebook page from Hampton’s family.
“After collapsing on stage surrounded by his friends, family, fans and the people he loved Col. Bruce Hampton passed away. The family is asking for respect and privacy at this difficult time,” the statement said.
Hampton showed no sign anything was amiss before his collapse. He appeared on stage early in the four-hour night, conducting and singing with a band. Later, he played and sang several tunes, including Fixin’ to Die, a song he had performed many times before. This time, though, the lyrics turned out to be prophetic:
Feeling funny in my mind, Lord
I believe I’m fixing to die
Well, I don’t mind dying
But I hate to leave my children crying
FATUM NOS IUNGET
Damn, Michael Parks died.
While he was awesome as Sheriff Earl in From Dusk Till Dawn, I always loved him more as Esteban in Kill Bill II...
"You would've been myyy......number one lady!" hahahaha

My friend and I always quote the way he says "Beee-yiillll" in that scene.
The guy was unquestionably a fantastic, and underused, actor. Thank god Tarantino and, to a lesser extent, Kevin Smith took a shine to him. They gave him some great dialogue to blow me away with
Active Member
No! He and John Goodman were the entire reason why Red State worked as a film -- Parks' performance in that is top-tier brilliance. His Kill Bill roles were spectacular and, for me, iconic. Such a pro that could disappear into a role -- I always felt like the way that people talk about Gary Oldman was a truer description of Parks. He had seriously become one of my favorite character actors around in the past decade. Such a shame.
