David Carradine Found Hanged

[Ck]

It's like a cheapo late night B movie

I'm really sick and tired of all the smutty smiling newspeople talking about the way they think David died with all of them acting as if they haven't the slightest idea of why he might have done it.

In truth, it's none of our business how or why it happened other than if it turned out to be a homicide and someone else did it to him.

The man was a person, he doesn't need to have his name smeared in people's theories on how he might have killed himself. That it happened to him is the sad thing and the only thing we should think about. If he killed himself while trying something, it was a mistake and an accident and it is just sad.

He had a long and strange and interesting life. He was not at all the usual Hollywood kid. He was an original from the start.

The character of Grasshopper, Kwai Chang Caine is one that we, who watched the original and the second series will always love. It was the first American TV show to teach Americans that there were other cultures around that had wonderful and interesting things about it and that they should open their eyes and learn something about the world.

The second series did what I never could have dreamed of, it reinvented the original show and made it as good as the original.

AND to make a comeback in Kill Bill was a great story in itself.

So let's stop the stupid from salivating when they talk about his death and just talk about his acting and that one of his characters made people interested in Kung Fu and Asia.
