Why do you have their albums if you're not a fan?
What people tend to forget, The Band really only put out two good albums. The rest are pretty shitty.
I'm a record collector.
sometimes you buy stuff and hope it gets you..sometimes the first time it doesn't and then a few years later…
lots of reasons.. the big pink cover is of course a dylan drawing…
maybe i like moondog matinee
the last waltz comes with a really cool book
lots of reasons..
I don't believe I paid more than a dollar for any of them.
If you don't like the Last Waltz, you've got some problems breah.

Never 'got' The Band. Respected their influence but didn't care for their music so much. Then saw Last Waltz at that movie theater in Dupont that's now Benetton about 10 years ago. Amazing experience. That film reflected something intangible and transported you to some deeper level where the music and characters involved really revealed their genius.

The Killers Saxophonist Tommy Marth Commits SuicideDon't like the band at all but still think this is sad. Bet you he was bipolar. March and April are the biggest months of the year for bipolar suicides.

Bipolar (aka manic depression) suicides will almost always occur when the person is about to drop off from a manic state. That's why you will often hear their friends and family saying things like that they were doing so well or that they were finally happy with things just before the event. Apparently, the patient, so to speak, knows their syndrome well enough to recognize that a drop is coming up which leads to a bout of serious depression. That's what they can't handle and, unfortunately, sometimes decide to take drastic measures into their hands. Many avoid the Lithium prescribed to them because that has so many bad side effects that they can't deal with.
In the spring, we get more light. Signs that summer is on the way. Many of us, bipolar and others (no, I am not bipolar but I have suffered bouts of major depression since I was 4 years old), get that nice spring fever lift. That can bring on a manic stage for a bipolar. People who suffer with bipolar disorders are usually very affected by light and seasonal disorders (aka SAD). It would seem that March and April is when we get the biggest lift from the benefits from more light (at least, in the northern hemispheres) which would also lead to more manic stages for bipolars; hence more eventual manic drops which bring on more of those going to extremes to avoid the onset of a major depressive stage.
*Clinical depressives (or sometimes referred to as unipolars because they don't get the manic side) are much less likely to go the suicide route because it is believed that they tend to just get too laid back and out of it to bother doing anything about it. Not that it's never happened but it's the bipolars who tend to be needing watched when it comes to serious suicide watches.

I'm still shaking my head at this one. Couldn't have been a nicer guy who seemed extremely well adjusted the many times I've met him.

Apparently shot himself in the chest a-la Dave Duerson, presumably to preserver the brain for concussion research.
The NFL has a problem of epic proportions on its hands.
Was never a big fan of Seau or anything, but this is seriously sad news.

Yeah, I was aware that this team had more than it's fair share of early demises, but this:
"In 1998, LB Doug Miller was struck by lightning while camping in Colorado. CPR was being performed on Miller when he was struck again by a second bolt."

Who the hell gets struck by lightning twice in a row???
