    John Entwistle died after a night of hookers and blow. I believe Pete Townshend himself remarked that the Ox was a man who truly died doing what he loved.

    Beloved Minister Dies Just As He Lived—Of A Heart Attack

    SHADY CORNERS, VT—The people of Shady Corners (pop. 712), a sleepy little town near the Vermont-New Hampshire border, came out in full force Sunday to say goodbye to the man they knew as their pastor, their neighbor and their friend: Rev. Walter Booth.

    Though the end was sudden, those who knew him say he died just as he lived—of a massive heart attack.

    What about all the other kid motorcyclists who don't die while practicing? They work just as hard and deserve coverage too. It's unfair to not give them a write up just because they live.

    If God strikes me down while putting for eagle with a stripper, then yeah, I died doing what I loved.

    "He died with his boots on -- and his socks off."


    "He was loved by one and all -- just once too often."
