RIP DJ AM

So when I anticipated my return to blogging after getting myself settled back on campus, I didn't anticipate having to do two RIP posts: one on Ted Kennedy (not saying his death was expected, but he had brain cancer, and he lived a full life), and one on world-renown DJ AM.

DJ AM's death was very sudden, especially seeing how he escaped death almost a year ago (with Travis Barker) by surviving a plane crash that killed four others. He had a hard upbringing, and was addicted to drugs early in his career, but was able to get his health together and kick his addiction. One can only think about how that traumatic plane crash (where it was described that both ran out on fire and AM suffered burns on his hands and head) affected his psyche.
