Dead Dash Snow

Dash Snow overdosed last night. Another artist dead too early at the age of 27. I wasn't a fan of his work, though I find any larger-than-life persona interesting as a cultural phenomenon, like pop music or fast food fads or clothing trends- the gritty child of Warhol's shadow.Mr. Snow's personality eclipsed his work, and that may very well have been the point. I imagine he knew the risks and accepted their possibilities...

A somewhat relevant scene, from the film HAPPINESS, regarding the excesses of the human condition and their effects (the real tragedy...):
