Re: RIP Rik Mayall
Rick with a silent 'P'. Weird timing . . . i've just been reading his autobiography.
This was very unexpected news. I was always a big fan ever since The Young Ones. It was the show that defined a generation.

Wonder if he tried to kill himself with laxative pills.
The Young Ones is such an important part of my life and Mayall never disappointed me. I hope he'd appreciate it it when I scream "YOU SELFISH BASTARD, RICK!!"

Re: RIP Rik Mayall
Damn. I can practically recite verbatim every line of The Young Ones. I still watch the dvd's all the time. Such a brilliant comedian, the People's Poet will be missed. Also love his work as bassist in the legendary metal band Bad News

Remember this little anomaly? His small part as the 'Second Chess Player' in American Werewolf In London (1981).

Re: RIP Rik Mayall
^^ yeah, he did a few bit-parts early on but nothing else as famous as American Werewolf . . .
Here's a 20th Century Coyote clip . . . they look sooooo young!
