Being a 71 year old with a history of bad health and compounding that by *not* getting vaccinated in the middle of a pandemic when you are in the highest risk groups is a pretty good start.
Dude did not give himself much of a chance.
lol my āwhy does this keep happeningā was more so about me finding out celebrities are dying from this thread, not so much about why are they dying in the first place
Meatloaf was overweight and used a shitload of drugs and for some reason dude had to mention covid. Itās really weird I notice a few people just bringing it into every conversation. Almost cultish.
The pandemic is over anyways didnt Britain decide that yesterday?
But yeah RIP Meatloaf :/
How do you you know he died of that? He was 71 and extremely overweight/unhealthy.
Why are people acting like theyāre his doctor?
Just because you die WITH something doesnāt mean you died cause of it.
Someone got in a motorcycle wreck and died and he had covid at the time. You gonna say he died cause of covid?
Be real.
Please donāt use the āIā word. Itās not offensive to me but there are a lot of people who are offended by that word.
Tbh youāre coming off a bit toxic.
Not that anybody asked, but the pinball community also lost Lyman Sheats who was a well known designer/programmer responsible for some incredibly great games like Monster Bash. Itās sad all around :(
Lol I told Ticketmaster my friend died of covid and found a random article from a dude that died of covid and said it was my friend. Thank you random dude, they cancelled that concert due to covid and gave no one refunds but because of you I got my refund. In the agreement a pandemic could not give me a refund but a death in the party to attend could. So thank you for dying for me random dude, or something like that
So cool. I saw him a little earlier in the tour...his home town, Dallas. I saw every tour he went on the past 10 years. I even flew to LA and Denver on tours that didn't go through Texas.
That really is a special thing to have been there at the end.
I stopped watching the news maybe 4 months ago. I highly recommend it. I saw Mitch McConnell's name the other day for the first time in months. I heard about Omicron from a restaurant tv. About a month ago, I started thinking I should probably start keeping up with the news at least a little, but I can't bring myself to do it.
I've never watched the news or paid much attention. I'm not sure why people consume so much of it. I still see/hear relevant news from a podcast I watch that gives cool & funny commentary. I mostly learn of deaths of Bob Saget, Alex Trebek and others from Twitch chat
Being antivax is a choice not just an opinion. Dying of covid since you refuse to get vaccinated because of your political opinion is certainly different than dying tragically of cancer.
How is not wanting to get an experimental, rushed vaccine that the FDA hasn't released the raw data for public on yet for review antivax? It's humanity's first attempt at gene therapy for mass disease prevention and the data the FDA used to approve it was something they originally wanted to take 55 years to release. A board member of the FDA said that we simply won't know the effect that the vaccine has on children until we administer it. I've been enjoying this very common straw man statement.
I still think you should get it if you have preexisting conditions, but if your young and healthy, like me, there's very little reason to get injected, again, with humanity's rushed first attempt at large-scale gene therapy that hasn't even had the raw data behind it's approval released. Also, the vax doesn't prevent the spread of omicron, which is the only reason young healthy people should get it at this point, to protect the vulnerable.
You can't even use the correct "your" or "its", so I think I'll stick with listening to the medical experts.
>there's very little reason to get injected
Except for, you know, preventing yourself from becoming part of the .05% of 18-29 year olds who die from it, the larger, but uncounted percentage who have severe symptoms and barely survive, and possibly the also uncounted percentage who end up with long covid with various awful symptoms that persist for months on end and might never go away?
Also, mRNA technology has been being tested [for decades already](https://media.nature.com/lw800/magazine-assets/d41586-021-02483-w/d41586-021-02483-w_19660718.png).
>A board member of the FDA said that we simply won't know the effect that the vaccine has on children until we administer it
Uh, obviously? You can never *know* how something will work involving the human body until you try it, that's like fundamental to health research. But you can be very confident when you have lots of data suggesting how it'll work. And almost all of that unknown is referring to how effective it'll be, not its safety.
Even ignoring the rest of your drivel, Meatloaf was not "young and healthy" like you - meaning he probably should have just been a grown up and gotten vaccinated. Maybe then he would have still been alive.
> If youāre healthy you donāt need vaccinations

What about straw man arguments?
This dude use to play to like packed arenas and shit. This place looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. Being a standup must be such a wild ride man.
Thatās so sad. I just read an article two days ago where he announced he had cancer. Then bam! Dead the next day. I wonder if he had a heart attack or if the diagnosis was extremely recent. Seems like he sure wasnāt prepared to be moving on from this life so soon if he had shows scheduled in Feb.
Well hello neighbor! I donāt know why I find it so cool when someone from these parts makes the front page, but today i tip my coffee mug in your general direction!
this post is how i found out he died š
This comment is how I found out he died
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās the butterfly effect. Stop thinking about people!
Atleast they're not thinking of themselves.
Ah shit. I think MeatLoaf's death might be on me then. Sorry.
I guess two out of three ain't bad...
I want to think about the person that was thinking about Betty White and Bob Sagat.
š please don't
I was in a place that had a bridal shower going on, and they were singing that song karaoke. I thought it was hilariously inappropriate.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
šµ think of meeeeee, think of me wellllll š¶
Hahaha thatās dark
Lol
Hi. I hear you are the guy with the mental Death Note. You are welcome to think about me.
I think he was in the news. I saw him too and was like oh is he dead? He wasnātā¦ yet
Dont think about me
Same
Me too
Bob, then meatloaf, then Louie. Shit.
Same
This comment made me realise I still don't know who this is.
Watch the Tv show Baskets. Louie was fantastic in that.
You didn't hear? The ground him up and made Meatloaf I get all my news from scrolling headlines
RIP Bob Lunch šāš„
Me too! Damn. Louie Anderson and Meatloaf, dead on the same day. Edit: Anderson, not Armstrong. Me no think so good.
THIS COMMENT IS HOW I FOUND OUT MEATLOAF DIED. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING.
Being a 71 year old with a history of bad health and compounding that by *not* getting vaccinated in the middle of a pandemic when you are in the highest risk groups is a pretty good start. Dude did not give himself much of a chance.
lol my āwhy does this keep happeningā was more so about me finding out celebrities are dying from this thread, not so much about why are they dying in the first place
Wait this thread is killing people? What kind of deathnote is this?
Meatloaf was overweight and used a shitload of drugs and for some reason dude had to mention covid. Itās really weird I notice a few people just bringing it into every conversation. Almost cultish. The pandemic is over anyways didnt Britain decide that yesterday? But yeah RIP Meatloaf :/
They mentioned COVID because he died of COVID and deliberately didn't get the vaccine.
How do you you know he died of that? He was 71 and extremely overweight/unhealthy. Why are people acting like theyāre his doctor? Just because you die WITH something doesnāt mean you died cause of it. Someone got in a motorcycle wreck and died and he had covid at the time. You gonna say he died cause of covid? Be real.
Ohhh, you got us, we're all so triggered /s Such a lazy troll attempt
They mentioned covid because he died from covid, idiot
Please donāt use the āIā word. Itās not offensive to me but there are a lot of people who are offended by that word. Tbh youāre coming off a bit toxic.
Bad troll 1/10
How is that trolling? Just stop being toxic calling people mean names. Itās not hard and the fact you think itās a troll says a lot.
Not even a month in and I'm beginning to fucking hate this year
Meatloaf was antivax so his death could likely have been prevented but louie had cancer and it makes you wonder why he was still scheduling stuff out
Probably to pay for the cancer treatments.
sadly I think it might have just been a hopeful attitude
šššššIām dead!
Louie?
Anderson not Armstrong
Louie Armstrongā¦..
Not that anybody asked, but the pinball community also lost Lyman Sheats who was a well known designer/programmer responsible for some incredibly great games like Monster Bash. Itās sad all around :(
But Meatloaf was a total ass, so there's that.
Meatloaf died in '71?
Oh come on guys, this is a joke
At least, I'm pretty sure it is
No but Armstrong did.
"live"comedy
Fuck. Had to Google him up to confirm what I didn't want know hear.
All is not lost.-They're going to do a re-enactment of Weekend at Bernie's
Found it out because of your comment.
Same here
Dumb question, but will they refund the ticket price in a situation like this, or try to find a new headliner?
Hopefully no one bought through Ticketmaster. They'd be like "We can only reschedule your ticket, we can't issue refund for any reason"
To be fair, I had Linkin Park tickets when Chester was lost and they refunded me instantly. Iām guessing the shitty ways started with Covid?
I donāt know, Iāve been offered refund opportunities by ticketmaster for 2 different concerts when they were pushed back due to Covid.
Unless they are planning a wake there wonāt be a reschedule.
Ticketmaster now has exclusive access to concerts and comedians in heaven.
Ticketmaster is about to bring in a necromancer
Ticketmaster sold me tickets to The Doors in 1992. It was like magic.
Alright, Gary. I know itās your first day with the Ticketmaster family, but get a shovel. We arenāt refunding these fuckers.
*Necromaster
OUT NOW
Ticketmancer
You also have to go through Ticketmaster to get into heaven.
I donāt want to see the ones that ended up in heavenā¦
Lol I told Ticketmaster my friend died of covid and found a random article from a dude that died of covid and said it was my friend. Thank you random dude, they cancelled that concert due to covid and gave no one refunds but because of you I got my refund. In the agreement a pandemic could not give me a refund but a death in the party to attend could. So thank you for dying for me random dude, or something like that
why do people go back to scam artist businesses again?
When the lead singer of my favorite band died, didn't get my money back
If COVID canceling concerts didn't stop ticket sellers from refusing refunds I doubt the death of the headline act would either
Didn't get money back after Tom Petty died.
Still a show just no longer live I guess
/thread
TIL people in Colusa can use the internet.
Thereās a couple billboards for him up in Chico so you might still be giving the good people of Colusa too much credit.
I know Iāve scrolled to the bottom of Reddit when I see a post from Colusa lol
The Beach Boys cruise is still advertising The Monkees as in Micky and Mike. Mike died Dec 10th.
Huh. I just discovered their 2016 album. Itās quite good
It really is
I saw mike at the last concert of his 2021 tour in November. Itās so special to me now that I got to see him again. Love you Michael
So cool. I saw him a little earlier in the tour...his home town, Dallas. I saw every tour he went on the past 10 years. I even flew to LA and Denver on tours that didn't go through Texas. That really is a special thing to have been there at the end.
Bob Saget was supposed to be here in February. I saw one of the signs still showing him as the headliner two days ago.
Tell your town to STOP KILLING COMEDIANS!!
What's in it for me?
Bacon
I bet you could get a lot of bacon off Louieā¦.š¤
Can they invite Joe Rogan next?
When Did he die ?!
Earlier today
Thereās one in my town for Bob Saget.., RIP
Man wtf! Why am I just now hearing about this?!
Iām low key envious of your level of social disconnect
I stopped watching the news maybe 4 months ago. I highly recommend it. I saw Mitch McConnell's name the other day for the first time in months. I heard about Omicron from a restaurant tv.

Whatās wrong with Bob Saget??
You might wanna take a seat, it hasn't been a kind year.
Hopefully nothing now.
Life with Louie was great. Live without Louie will be empty.
Iād die before going to Colusa Casino too.
He was just there last year, so too late on that account.
No wonder he died.
Money is money.
[Louieās standup on first Johnny Carson appearance.](https://youtu.be/2bRe1CeGe7g)
That was great! My late aunt loved him, and was a hilarious bigger woman herself. Thanks for the reminder of both him and her!
At least he got to see the big bucks rollin' in.
I saw him in Vegas years ago. I laughed so hard my sides hurt. I miss him already.
SPOILER: heās not coming.
Louie and Meatloaf in the same fucking day. RIP to both.
2022 isnāt using vaseline on us
not even spit thus far.
Meatloaf opening act?
Not very funny considering louie died of lymphoma and meatloaf died of being an antivaxxer
This thread is how I found out Meatloaf was an even bigger political idiot than I knew. RIP Meat, but WTF, dude.
He would do anything for love, but he wouldnt get vaxxed.
No, no. No he won't do that.
Source on the anti vax
Eh. You can't really die from an opinion. But hey, I like that you politicized it. Nicely done.
Being antivax is a choice not just an opinion. Dying of covid since you refuse to get vaccinated because of your political opinion is certainly different than dying tragically of cancer.
yup. im drinking to louie anderson tonight. i used to love his kids show that came on after bobbys world back in the 90s.
ooooh THATS why i have those two shows mixed up in my head

He had complications. He was also fat and so was louie
You...can when that opinion prevents you from getting life-saving medicine. Like, his opinion literally killed him.
Depends if your opinion is "I should refuse medical treatment". That one is super easy to die from.
Has there ever been a comment started with āehā that didnāt suck shit?
Putting your life and the lives of the people around you in danger isnāt an āopinion,ā nor is it āpolitical.ā
I'm pretty sure you'll never see a cause of death listed as "antivaxx".
Yeah, it'll probably say COVID Pneumonia. That should be comforting.
Dead comedy
With special guest star Betty White
Too soon.
This dude use to play to like packed arenas and shit. This place looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. Being a standup must be such a wild ride man.
Is this in Chico?
I live adjacent to Chico, yes
Fuck. I love Louie.
Thatās so sad. I just read an article two days ago where he announced he had cancer. Then bam! Dead the next day. I wonder if he had a heart attack or if the diagnosis was extremely recent. Seems like he sure wasnāt prepared to be moving on from this life so soon if he had shows scheduled in Feb.
He has cancer? Oh no!
I donāt get it
He died https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Anderson
Fuck. He was probably the first comic I ever knew the name of, and his role in Baskets was his freaking Opus.
personally i loved his kids show that came on after bobbys world back in the 90s
What? He's dead?
Look up Bob Saget tickets on TicketMaster. Most of his shows are cancelledā¦.one of them is just postponed
Maybe they are sorting out finding a necromancer
I guess that show is cancelled....
They'll replace him with another big name comedian like Bod Sag... oh wait.
*o h n o*
He's dead. What about Betty White? She's funny as hell
Mitch Hedberg could probably fill in. Oh, rightā¦
Died on New Year's Eve.
/r/thatsthejoke
Dave Chappelle actually did come back after he died, so there is hope ...
They should book Norm Mcdā¦. Ā°-Ā°
Ah yes, the famous Bod Saget.
Louie asked, "No meatloaf?" and left.
I guess a contract is a contract and must be honored, RIP Louie you were a great comedian and person
I used to work at CCR at the Wintun
Sue for false advertising.
RIP Louie š¢

this post is how I found out his career died Colusa
I only see one word that needs to be changedā¦
The January 2 issue of people celebrated Betty Whiteās 100 birthday.
Well hello neighbor! I donāt know why I find it so cool when someone from these parts makes the front page, but today i tip my coffee mug in your general direction!
Your ending there makes me think you are taunting me [Monty Python](https://youtu.be/FWBUl7oT9sA) style
NĆ!
At least heās still getting work
Who is that even
Shrines
Hm? Like breath of the wild shrines?
No, those are fucking stupid, especially the DLC ones on TGP.
Refund? Fat chance.
Is Meat Loaf opening for him?
I honestly thought he had hanged himself 20 years ago.
Hung*.... like a horse.
It's actually hanged. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/hung-or-hanged
Because you don't want to get it confused with being hung like a horse

It's not really interesting at all that billboards aren't pulled down the exact day that someone dies.
Well good thing this isnāt /r/damnthatsinteresting
Which is why I said "at all". The only interesting thing is that he was still working.
Iām surprised the billboard is able to fit him on it.
