There are a great number of comedians out there. There are also a great number of comedians who are no longer with us. Most of these comedians have met an end by force, violence, drug addiction, or suicide. What is the relation with great comedians and the funny persona they use as a curtain to hide behind. Most of them are really depressed or fucked up people. Could it perhaps be that a comic sees life differently then we do and they tend to over analyze things opening a door of realization that they just can't stand. Or would it be the lifestyle of a comedic that drives them to this demise because of a life full of spotlight and when they are not at their peak it is quickly taken away. Or they know they are better than most people and the can't stand to talk to normal people almost going on an intellectual level. I write about this because one of my favorite comedians Artie Lang has just tried to commit suicide by stabbing him self nine times. He was a drug addict but usually when you see him he is a cheery dirty man. Chris Farly died by an overdose of all sorts of drugs. Talking from experience of being an addict myself people don't get that high with out trying to escape from something. It is sad how such good talent is haunted with troubles. I would like to have a moment of silence for all the great jokers who have left us.
