I think anytime someone like John Phillips dies it makes me sad. I understand that he didn't die in the prime of his life, ala, John Belushi or Chris Farley, but after hearing of the news in any of these cases, I feel cheated. These are people who have all the talent in the world but can't handle the recognition without the drugs etc. These are people who have so much to contribute to the entertainment portion of our lives and they just throw it away. I guess it all depends on when it is you die to determine whether your death is tragic or your life is tragic......
