Finally, a third Celeb Death

My celebrity triple death list was getting cold. I do realize other people had died over the past couple of weeks, like Merce "Twinkle Toes" Cunningham, one of the guys from Peter & Gordon and (Oh My) Corazon Aquino, but they just didn't fit my list.

But today John Hughes died. So that's three. (With Cronkite and McCourt) Hughes did a variation on a Strummer, dropped dead from a heart attack while taking a walk.

I saw Ferris Bueller on t.v. last year and it was a lot funnier than I remembered. I didn't much like it when it came out, but now it seemed quite good.

But my favourite John Hughes movie is Sixteen Candles, if only for the father and the expression "oily bohunk".
