RIP DJ AM

[Inky_Wretch]

I don't know who he is. Or was.

He was in the plane crash with the Blink 182 guys a while back. That's all I got.

 

[Double J]

Notable for having dated Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie, and for having survived a plane crash a year or so ago with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.

I think he was also once a member of the band Crazy Town, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 several years ago with a song called "Butterfly."

I must be old because I have no idea who this guy is.

 

[DirtyDeeds]

Yeah, I don't know who he is either other than that he hangs with that whole Hollywood "celebrity" crowd, like Lindsay, Paris, et. al.

Heaven needed a celebrity DJ?
He died doing what he loved ... drugs.

 

[Small Town Guy]

There's some Final Destination type action with him surviving the plane crash just a year ago.

He also threw out the first pitch at the Mets game on Sunday. No joke.

 

[DirtyDeeds]

Yep. TMZ has the pics from the Mets game posted on one of their updates.

Holy ****.

Guy lost about 300 pounds or something with the gastric bypass a few years ago. He dated Nicole, dated Mandy (who went back to take care of him after the plane crash). He spun at the NASCAR banquet party at Marquee I went to three years or so ago. I mean, in reality, he's just a DJ, didn't cure cancer, didn't save starving children. But damn.

The Mets curse now striking first-pitch-throwing celebrities.

Heaven needed a Mets fan to laugh at?

That's what he gets for having that lingering cough checked out by Mets doctors. (too soon?)

No ****.

My thoughts exactly. Drug-related music deaths always make me really sad no matter who the person was.

 

[Double J]

I don't know why I gapped on this, but he also briefly dated local supermodel Jessica Stam, who has the distinction of being the only supermodel ever to hail from Midwestern Ontario. (I know, I know - shocking!!)

 

[srnitz86]

He was on an episode of Entourage. He gets the last pair of the limited edition shoes that Turtle wants.

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

we inquired on hiring him to dj our wedding, just for kicks to see how much he was. pretty expensive. he was a co-owner of vegas club, LAX.

in a related note: it's sad, and strange, that the dumber media among us immediately go to twitter to try and find "last words" before a tragedy or a major event and tie it in together. AM's last post sounded ominous to the People/US Magazine/Big Lead type of crowd, but really was just a lyric from the Dogg Pound:

"New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems."

 

[Steak Snabler]

One of the obits I saw referred to him as "disc jockey DJ AM" (I guess to avoid using DJ twice), like he was Casey Kasem or something ...

Or from Grandmaster Flash.
