If you know any Johns, call and make sure they're okay!
Sigh.

I am totally bummed about this. While Johnny Cash led a full life and blessed the world with hundreds of recordings, it is still sad to hear about his passing. In May when Cash's wife June Carter Cash died, a friend of mine predicted that Johnny Cash would probably die soon afterward. Sadly, he was right.
John Ritter, on the other hand, was still quite young (52?) He died of an aortal aneurysm on the set of a TV show (?) (this is what I heard on the radio this morning). While I wasn't a huge fan of "Three's Company," I did quite enjoy Ritter's performance in Sling Blade. It's sad when people die young and unexpectedly.

If you've never seen the movie, Skin Deep, grab it some time. I think that was John Ritter's best work.

While I wouldn't really agree with that statement it does have one of the funniest moments in movies: the battling glowing condoms. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. 
That and also that episode of Larry Sanders where John Ritter and Gene Siskel are waiting to be on the show, they start arguing about Skin Deep and the end up getting into a fistfight backstage. John gives Gene a blackeye. Now they've both passed away.

I watched John Ritter growing up. I wasn't old enough to get all the jokes in Three's Company, but it's interesting that it was funny to a wide audience. Who would have thought that Don Knotts would have outlived John Ritter? :cry:

I was watching CNN this morning before work and heard John had died. When ever I think of John I remember that glowing condom scene and crack up. Move was pretty bad, but that scene made the movie...
I'm not a hugh Jonny Cash fan, but I liked most of his music. It's wierd, I was playing "Long black veil" for my kids last night. I was trying to get them to actually LISTEN to the words in a song because some songs tell great stories, like "Long black veil". Jonhhy Cash most always had a story in his songs and I liked that...

It always seems so strange when celebrities die - because they're such a small % of the population, they seem strangely immortal...
Quite sad :cry: - I had lots of laughs watching Three's Company... :lol:

I agree 100%. I remember seeing the movie and going, "Is that really John Ritter?". A great performance.
