If a DJ dies, does anyone care??

Earlier this evening it was reported that DJ AM died. Most normal people's reactions would be "who?"

Now, i'm not trying to be rude or incensitive. If he did die of a drug overdose, what a selfish son of a bitch. I can't mourn over deaths due to selfishness.

This is what I do know about him. He dated Nicole Richie, obviously DJ's for many celebrities, and was in a near death plane crash with Travis Barker.

Other than that, I have no fucking clue who he is. And I have no idea why I should be sad or care. Many people die daily, some in car wrecks, some get shot, etc. Are those people any less important than some quasi-celebrity who possibly killed himself due to drug overdose.

I was sad for Kurt Cobain, but he ultmately was a coward in the end. He killed himself and left his widow and child to become a fucked up mess now days. Layne Staley, I was sad for him, but mainly cause he was a great presence in trumpeting the Seattle sound. When he died due to Heroine, it mad me feel disgraced and saddened.

There have been many drug overdoses in Hollywood and the celebrity scene. Most are significant. In this day and age of fame excess, if a minor known celeb dies, should we care even though his friends and family are mourning. Even if it's at their own hand.

I need to cut this one short. Storms in the area. I will end on this. I do feel bad for the loss of DJ AM for his friends and family. So don't get me wrong, i'm not a total careless asshole. I have a heart. God bless his friends and family for their sudden loss.
