RIP Aaron Carter

Was probably always going to end this way:

Aaron Carter Dead at 34

I'll never understand it.

People with talent, and given so much opportunity, and all they do is waste it, and themselves.

He looks like nothing if not that he wrecked himself.

It's so sad, seems so inexplicable, and yet, so inevitable.

If you are getting face tattoos, your judgement is suspect.

There’s a lot of people from my high school who are going to be in mourning today.

It could not have been easy starting out in the public eye so young and in the shadow of your more successful brother.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Life's a ***** when you're young, rich and good-looking.

Yep, those people can never have mental health or addiction issues.

Or parents who are looking to capitalize on their young child's talents, making the absolute wrong decisions for them.

Of course, I seriously doubt the parents were in the room when he turned his face into bad art.

On another note, it's interesting how many corpses are found in a bathtub. You never hear about them being found in the shower. This is one of many reasons I prefer showers.

we need to address mental health

Yet Justin Bieber lives to breathe another day.

It has to be something about the music/entertainment business, I think, even more than mental illness issues.

The prevalence and problem of drugs seems rampant, and, I guess because of the money these people make, so readily available and acceptable.

Seemingly once-normal, almost All-American boys like Aaron Carter and Justin Bieber become...something else entirely, usually to their own detriment, and it seems incumbent upon the music and entertainment industries to address lifestyle/health issues that seem to impact so many talented performers and cost a good number of them their lives.

Ah yes, All-American boy, Justin Bieber, of London, Ontario.

Forget it. He’s rolling

That's what you pulled out of that post about a suggestion of a seemingly legit music-industry problem as a topic of discussion?

And I was referring to looks -- what he used to look like, before he wrecked himself, too. But I'm pretty sure you knew that.

 

[User 149557]

I don’t assume people are good because they’re blonde and white and American, no.

Apparently you do.

From the start I thought people like Bieber and Carter looked like spoiled brats likely to do coke by the time they were 14.
