It's starting to get rough. Going to lose a lot of these music/acting icons next few years.

Wow. He was my first brush with fame back in the late nineties in Campbell River. That movie Scarlet Letter with Demi Moore was being filmed here. There was a pub called Wylie Coyotes in the Anchor Inn hotel. He was there with a bunch of the film crew and he was dancing with a Native girl. He was also very very smashed.
